Puts

Below is a simple ‘Hello World’ example. This shows how you use a [sysimport] directive to ‘annotate’ your code. You supply three ‘arguments’ to the [sysimport] directive:

This information tells the C++ compiler all it needs to emit the correct PInvoke metadata into the object file it is building for you.

#import <mscorlib.dll>     // to get Microsoft::Runtime::String

[sysimport(dll="msvcrt", name="puts", charset="ansi")]
int puts(String*);

void main(void) {
     String *pStr = L"Hello World!";
     puts(pStr);
}

Notice how the managed String is Unicode, and therefore prefixed with “L” and that charset=”ansi”.
