Hi,

I have a Delphi dll defined like this:

TMPData = record
 Lastname, Firstname: array[0..40] of char;
 Birthday: TDateTime;
 Pid: array[0..16] of char;
 Title: array[0..20] of char;
 Female: Boolean;
 Street: array[0..40] of char;
 ZipCode: array[0..10] of char;
 City: array[0..40] of char;
 Phone, Fax, Department, Company: array[0..20] of char;
 Pn: array[0..40] of char;
 In: array[0..16] of char;
 Hi: array[0..8] of char;
 Account: array[0..20] of char;
 Valid, Status: array[0..10] of char;
 Country, NameAffix: array[0..20] of char;
 W, H: single;
 Bp: array[0..10] of char;
 SocialSecurityNumber: array[0..9] of char;
 State: array[0..2] of char;
end;   

function Init(const tmpData: TMPData; var ErrorCode: integer; ResetFatalError: boolean = false): boolean;

procedure GetData(out tmpData: TMPData);

My current c# signatures looks like this:

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi)]
public struct TMPData
{            
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 40)]
    public string Lastname;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 40)]
    public string Firstname;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.R8)]
    public double Birthday;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 16)]
    public string Pid;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 20)]
    public string Title;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
    public bool Female;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 40)]
    public string Street;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 10)]
    public string ZipCode;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 40)]
    public string City;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 20)]
    public string Phone;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 20)]
    public string Fax;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 20)]
    public string Department;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 20)]
    public string Company;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 40)]
    public string Pn;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 16)]
    public string In;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 8)]
    public string Hi;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 20)]
    public string Account;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 10)]
    public string Valid;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 10)]
    public string Status;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 20)]
    public string Country;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 20)]
    public string NameAffix;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.I4)]
    public int W;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.I4)]
    public int H;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 10)]
    public string Bp;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 9)]
    public string SocialSecurityNumber;
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 2)]
    public string State;
}

[DllImport("MyDll.dll")]
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
public static extern bool Init(TMPData tmpData, int ErrorCode, bool ResetFatalError);

[DllImport("MyDll.dll")]
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
public static extern bool GetData(out TMPData tmpData);

I first call Init setting the BirthDay, LastName and FirstName. I then call GetData but the TMPData structure I get back is incorrect. The FirstName, LastName and Birthday fields are populated but the data is incorrect. Is the mapping correct? ( "array[0..40] of char" equal to "[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 40)]" )?
