How to - string in DLL

**WojTec**

There is another problem - compatibility Ansii/Unicode.
DLL is compiled with D2010, it uses unit with string type.
In API unit I strings declared as AnsiString:

markieren

Delphi-Quellcode:

			S: AnsiString;

S := FuncReturnsString();

StrLCopy(lpBuffer, PAnsiChar(AnsiString(S)), nSize) // second typecast is from old version

If both DLL and app are compiled in Ansii compiler (D7) - it working, if in Unicode (D2010) - also working. Of one compiled in Ansii and second in Unicode, then raises invalid pionter operation exception, but buffers has correct data. I don't understand. What I'm doing wrong?

I think this is a problem with the size parameter.

You always have to have in mind that one character is one byte in Delphi 7 and two bytes in Delphi 2010.

How does the code for reserving the memory, ... look like?

Hm, my functions working as in example on 1st page in this thread, size is length of S, in Ansii should be S length, but in Unicode length * 2 if we talking about bytes nor string length, but the same code working if both EXE and DLL are Ansii OR Unicode. So, what I should to do?
