You can use the dllimport attribute for straight api dll's. MSDN example shown below in C#: [C#] [DllImport(KERNEL32.DLL EntryPoint=MoveFileW SetLastError=true CharSet=CharSet.Unicode ExactSpelling=true CallingConvention=CallingConvention.StdCall)] public static extern bool MoveFile(String src String dst); -Mike

You can only use COM components using COM Interop (Add Reference). If your dll is not a COM dll then it will not work.
