DllImport is an attribute which you apply to a function which you want to call in an unmanaged dll. Such functions are typically written in C/C++. In this case the function is included in Kernel32.dll which is part of the Win32 API. Only the signature of such functions is included in a C# program as their actual code is of course included in the dll itself.
