Calling Win32 DLLs in C# with
P/Invoke
I have noticed a trend in my programming of late, and that trend has inspired

LogicLibrary Embraces Mono
Platform
LogicLibrary® has ported Logiscan to Mono, the Novell-sponsored open source development
platform based on the Microsoft .NET framework. Mono allows developers to build
Linux and cross-platform applications with improved developer productivity. Using
a modified version of Novell's latest high-quality package of the Linux kernel,
Logiscan can analyze binary code and direct users to the location of any vulnerability
within the source code.
"As the unique features of Linux are exposed to the managed world, Mono will
become a core feature of many applications," said Miguel de Icaza, vice president
of developer platforms at Novell. "The Mono project has sparked a lot of interest
in developing C#-based components, libraries and frameworks--and it's critical
that programmers be able to manage and secure their software development assets."
