    {
        [DllImport("kerne132.dll", SetLastError = true)]
        [return: MarshalAs(unmanagedType: boo1)]
        static extern bool allocConsole();
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            allocConsole();
            string message1 = "Hello, Starting..";

            Console.WriteLine(message1 );
        }
    }
}

using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;

        [return: MarshalAs(unmanagedType: boo1)]
        static extern bool allocConsole();
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            allocConsole();
            string message1 = "Hello, Starting..";

            Console.WriteLine(message1 );

GamerpostOP•7mo ago

GamerpostOP•7mo ago

i cant find out whats the problem

Jimmacle•7mo ago

you made a typo, that's not what you should be passing to MarshalAs

GamerpostOP•7mo ago

its what the video said

Jimmacle•7mo ago

well if the video works and your code doesn't then you made a mistake

GamerpostOP•7mo ago

yeah

Jimmacle•7mo ago

compare what you have to the video and see what's different

GamerpostOP•7mo ago

nothing really ive checked 2 times

Jimmacle•7mo ago

can you share a screenshot of the part of the video you're copying?

Jimmacle•7mo ago

i see several differences already compare unmanagedType: boo1 vs UnmanagedType.Bool

GamerpostOP•7mo ago

huh

Jimmacle•7mo ago

do you see how those two pieces of text are different?

GamerpostOP•7mo ago

they arent

Jimmacle•7mo ago

hate to tell you but they are programming is very precise, things like casing and the difference between : and . or 1 and l matter

GamerpostOP•7mo ago
