wrapping a c++ header file for use in c#

[sambo]

The following struct is currently implemented inside of a C++ .h (header) file. As far as I know most of the members of the struct are not C# defined types. I would like to make this struct user friendly for C#. How would I got about wrapping this struct in a dll or something and making the definition more C#-friendly?

typedef struct
{
	FILETIME date;
	DWORD dwRefId;
	BYTE btParam[512];
	CHAR szImageFileName[1];
	UCHAR	szSerialNum[17];	//Unit serial number.
	RGBQUAD pixels[1];
	RGBTRIPLE foreground;
} CMD_DATAA, *PCMD_DATAA;

Why don't you "smash" it into pieces rather than wraping it up?

Not sure what you are implying, but redesign is not an option. The header file is what it is. The question is how to wrap a dll around the header.

You may have some misunderstandings about methodologies applied. I think the OP simply wanted to use a pure wrapping method to integrate his C++ struct into C# language. Smashing or dividing objects as what you may be thinking of would hit badly application performance and memory allocation in general.

There is surely no need in actuality to redesigning anything. I have no idea of how to help what you are trying to accomplish. Thereotically, an interface and a generator should be what wrapping needs to be activated...
