I was using the strlen method from msvcrt.dll in a .Net 3.5 project.

more specifically: private unsafe static extern int strlen( byte *pByte );

After migrating to .Net 4, if I use this function it throws me an PInvokeStackImbalance exception.

How can I import the .Net 3.5 msvcrt.dll? or fix this exception?

Thank you in advance
