How to port 'C' functions to b4ppc

[taximania]

Here's something I found that allows you control of the LED's on your PPC.
I noticed PocketDAQ flashes the red LED of my PPC when connected to a port.

But it's in 'C'

How would you do the same functions in b4ppc or #develop ?

dzt has already created a library for this: Hardware library was updated - 3.10

Thanks Erel, but it didn't answer my question.
I see lots of code snippets written in 'C' and wondered how easy it was to port them to other means.

[Erel]

It is not simple.
You can P/Invoke native code from managed call (i.e. call C code from C#) but you will have to handle many complex data type conversions.
I recommend you to search for managed code or c# code.

Many thanks for the, as usual, quick reply Erel.
I now understand what you mean.

It would be like adding assembler language into a C program, which I have done in the past.
I'll google as you suggest and see if I can run c code in a .vbnet program.
I don't have much luck with c#

It's worth perservering. There's pretty much a one to one conversion of most stuff from C# to VB and it's all .NET underneath. Anyway doesn't SharpDevelop have a conversion capability - dzt stated that it had in post #8 of this thread.
