PInvoke FbwfFindFirst - FbwfCacheDetail problems
See the question and my original answer on StackOverflowSince the whole structure is of variable size, one way to do this is like this (I can't test it because I don't have this dll on my system):
string volume = "";
int size = 0;
// ask for whole structure size
FbwfFindFirst(volume, IntPtr.Zero, ref size); // this call should return ERROR_MORE_DATA which is ok
// allocate for the structure
var ptr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(size);
try
{
FbwfFindFirst(volume, ptr, ref size); // should not return error
// get the easy part
var detail = Marshal.PtrToStructure<FbwfCacheDetail>(ptr);
// compute filename offset and get the string
// file name length is in bytes, per documentation
var fileName = Marshal.PtrToStringUni(ptr + Marshal.OffsetOf<FbwfCacheDetail>("fileName").ToInt32(), detail.fileNameLength / 2);
}
finally
{
Marshal.FreeHGlobal(ptr);
}
