A wiki for .NET developers
PInvoke.net is primarily a wiki, allowing developers to find, edit and add
PInvoke* signatures, user-defined types, and any other information related to calling
Win32 and other unmanaged APIs from managed code (written in languages such as C# or VB.NET).
.NET developers worldwide can easily contribute to the community, sharing their valuable knowledge,
whenever they have time to do so.

Copy and paste your way to productivity
Certain things just can't be done in pure .NET, and developers have to drill down to the Windows
API. This is achieved through .NET’s Platform Invoke (PInvoke) functionality, which requires
declarations to be supplied by the developer. Manually defining and using PInvoke signatures is an
error-prone process that can introduce subtle bugs. PInvoke.net supplies you with tried and tested
signatures and type definitions, so that you don't have to spend time writing them from scratch.
Access PInvoke.net directly from Visual Studio
We provide an Add-in to Visual Studio 2003 and 2005, to make the insertion of PInvoke signatures
an easy, fast operation. Download the PInvoke.net Add-in for FREE now.
Editors wanted
Did you spend hours figuring out how to successfully define and call a given unmanaged API in
managed code? Share (and get credit for) your discovery here! Is there an error on this site? Go
ahead and fix it!
We are constantly looking for editors to join in, to continue making this space a valuable
resource for .NET developers across the globe.
* The term PInvoke is derived from the phrase "Platform Invoke". PInvoke signatures are
native method signatures, also known as Declare statements in VB
