Junction PInvoke Signatures

  • Article

Following are the signatures that I needed to enable Junctions through .NET. In another posting I will cover several structs that I had to create. If you are unable to wait for me to post them please let me know and I will get them here sooner.

  /// CloseHandle function
  /// </summary>
  /// <param name="hObject">Handle to an open object.</param>
  /// <returns>If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero. If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.</returns>
  [System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("Kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]

  /// <returns>INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE on error or the handle to file if success</returns>

                                          IntPtr hTemplateFile);
