Hello, I found your article while searching for solutions to the DllImport style difference in calling native code ( C/C++ ) between Windows and iOS.
I am trying to get common .netstandard2.0 implementation of native interface that needs to work both on Windows and iOS.
From reading your text, I got the impression that it's possible on Windows to preload a dll, which somehow makes the symbols from the DLL available, and then use the P/Invoke DllImport("__Internal") style. My thinking is that on the Windows I'd preload the DLL, and then proceed to using the same DllImport("__Internal") style, thus getting a single C# implementation working on both targets.
In my tests on Windows, the DllImport("__Internal") throws an exception complaining that the DLL does not exist - so it seems the "__Internal" is taken as DLL file name.
Could you, please, tell me if I understood your text correctly, and if so, suggest the simplest test code.
I am a C++ programmer just trying to figure this out....
Thanks, Paul.
