DllImportAttribute::EntryPoint Field

 

Indicates the name or ordinal of the DLL entry point to be called.

Namespace:   System.Runtime.InteropServices
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public:
String^ EntryPoint

Field Value

Type: System::String^

You can specify the entry-point name by supplying a string indicating the name of the DLL containing the entry point, or you can identify the entry point by its ordinal. Ordinals are prefixed with the # sign, for example, #1. If you omit this field, the common language runtime uses the name of the.NET method marked with the DllImportAttribute.

For additional information, see Identifying Functions in DLLs. For examples showing how to use the EntryPoint field, see Specifying an Entry Point.

The following code example shows how to use the DllImportAttribute attribute to import the Win32 MessageBox function. The code example uses the EntryPoint property to specify the function to import and then changes the name to MyNewMessageBoxMethod.
