Linking to DLL

[SirCodesALot]

Dear great minds,

I am having trouble linking to an external dll and was wondering if
anyone out there could help. Here is my class

Istat.h
#include "afxdisp.h"

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Runtime::InteropServices;

class IStatus : public COleDispatchDriver
{

public:
IStatus() {} // Calls COleDispatchDriver default constructor


public:
//CString GetBstrVersion();
long GetNPort();

[DllImport("ComACRsrvr.dll")]

extern "C" {
void __stdcall Connect(long nTransport, long nIndex);
}
};

Istat.cpp: (relevate lines)
IStatus ParkerStage;
ParkerStage.Connect(3,0);

--------
The problem is when I compile. I have the ComACRsrvr.dll in the same
directory as the project, but when I compile i get the folling error
messages:
1>c:\\temp\Istat.h(32) : error C2059: syntax error : 'string'
1>c:\temp\Istat.h(32) : error C2334: unexpected token(s) preceding
'{'; skipping apparent function body

Could I be importing the library incorrectly or is there something I
am missing? Thanks in advance for your help!!!

You are writing C++/CLI and not C++ which makes it off topic in this
group, questions about DLLs are also off topic. You should try a MS
newsgroup (one in the microsoft.public.* hierarchy) or try asking in one
of the forums at http://forums.msdn.microsoft.com
