[Media_api] RE: Using PortMIDI in C# (.NET 2.0)

[Aaron Oxford]

Hi guys and thanks for the responses. I'm in a bit of a muddle here 
now. I was trying to get

           [DllImport("pm_dll.dll")]
           public static extern void Initialize();

to work in .NET 2.0. It seems I completely didn't understand what I 
was attempting in the first place.

:-D :-D :-D       [smacks self in forehead]

Eric: Actually it seems that no such function exists like the 
exception said - probably because I'm using the wrong DLL. :-) So is 
there a way to get the compiler to make the binding and find these 
errors (is this faster/better/more portable?), or is that what we are 
doing already and its just .NET/DLL weirdness to get a runtime error 
if you stuff up? Also, I'm still having issues building PA, now with 
ASIO support. But that is totally non-mission-critical (I just keep 
lowering the mission goals). :-)

PM Guys: Am I correct in believing that the PM project as it stands 
only builds one DLL, and this DLL is not the one for accessing MIDI? 
If so, how do I make the portmidi.lib into a portmidi.dll, or part of 
pm_dll.dll? Sorry, I know this is a total newbie question in the C++ 
world, but when I switch the output type of the portmidi project 
nothing in the whole solution builds right - and no DLL. :-(

... and so many more questions. Believe me, I really do try to Google 
and search old posts for this stuff for myself - but what to search for? :-S

Thanks again everyone for your help and patience, and I promise to 
stop cross-posting once I work out what I'm talking about with whom. :-)

Aaron.
