It's the namespace where the DllImportAttribute class resides. This is used to call unmanaged functions (notably Win32 API functions) from C# using a mechanism known as Platform Invoke. It also contains a number of other classes which are used for COM or native interop including the Marshal class and the MarshalAsAttribute class.
