Bill,
For output string buffers, you should use a StringBuilder parameter, not
string.
Explicitly calling the ANSI versions of APIs is bad for performance on NT
based systems. It's better if you let the runtime decide which version to
call by using CharSet.Auto.
[DllImport("kernel32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto)]
public static extern int GetPrivateProfileString(
string lpApplicationName, string lpKeyName, string lpDefault,
System.Text.StringBuilder lpReturnedString, int nSize, string lpFileName);
--
StringBuilder buffer = new StringBuilder( intSize );
intDummy = GetPrivateProfileString( "DBLocation", "Path", null, buffer,
buffer.Capacity, strINIPath );
strDBLocation = buffer.ToString();
