The C# way of doing this is by letting the marshaler handle the char*
stuff while you work with a string:
[DllImport("pjsipDlld")]
static extern int dll_registerAccount(
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)]string username,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)]string password);
Replace LPStr
with LPWStr
if you’re working with wide chars.
