Entry Point not Found Exception C#
Tags:
Sorry if I havent done this right but its my first question on here. I have just written my first C# application this morning after usually using VB6. This application went well and it used a DLL (Lasal32.DLL). Armed with this knowledge and a hefty bit of Ctrl+C I have started on a second application but this keeps coming up with and Entrypointnotfound error when referencing the DLL. Ive been back to the old project and thats still working OK. I even started again and used the 1st project as a base but it didnt help. Here is the error in full.
System.EntryPointNotFoundException was unhandled
HResult=-2146233053
Message=Unable to find an entry point named 'OcbOpen' in DLL 'lasal32.dll'.

You can try using some application like Dependency Walker to verify whether the function actually exists in the dll.
