Silverlight
This API supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.
Indicates that the attributed method is exposed by an unmanaged dynamic-link library (DLL) as a static entry point.
Namespace: System.Runtime.InteropServices
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The DllImportAttribute type exposes the following members.
