I am referring this dll in .net, .net automatically converts this to
interop dll and the signature for the method BSTR* is changed to
string.
IMy code:
VC++
idl file
HRESULT fun1([in]ULONG nVen,[out,retval] BSTR* retval);
and the functions signature are same as above.
When refeered the dll in .net, the interop dll method is shown as
dim str as string
str = fun1(ByVal nVen As UInteger)
Kindly help me how to release the BSTR memory. bcoz i am not
releasing this any where.
I expect the interop code is smart enough to release the BSTR after
converting it to .NET string. You don't need to do anything special.
