Hi,

If you are looking for something like DllMain which was an optional entry point in the pre-.NET days, then one option is to use static conctructors for the class. The code within the static constructor would get called as soon as the CLR loads the class.

Take a look for samples and more explanation here:

Check out:

You should be able to specify the ordinal in the alias part of the function declaration by prepending a pound sign (#) (I haven't tried this myself)

Another great source for p/invoke is declarations is http://www.pinvoke.net
