What is Platform Invoke or pinvoke?
Managed Code and Unmanaged Code related ASP.NET- What is Platform Invoke or pinvoke?
By:
The process of executing native code from within a .NET assembly is called platform invoke, or pinvoke for short. You use platform invoke to call the Win32 API directly, to access existing (legacy) DLLs your company uses, or to access procedures compiled to native code for performance reasons.
