How to use [DllImport(“”)] in C#?

by

You can’t declare an extern local method inside of a method, or any other method with an attribute. Move your DLL import into the class:

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;


public class WindowHandling
{
    [DllImport("User32.dll")]
    public static extern int SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr point);

    public void ActivateTargetApplication(string processName, List<string> barcodesList)
    {
        Process p = Process.Start("notepad++.exe");
        p.WaitForInputIdle();
        IntPtr h = p.MainWindowHandle;
        SetForegroundWindow(h);
        SendKeys.SendWait("k");
        IntPtr processFoundWindow = p.MainWindowHandle;
    }
}
