DllImport does not show in intellisense

Question

It is first time I am trying to use DllImort in C#. But it is not appearing in InteliSense. I have added

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

But it is not working again. Instead this [DllImportAttribute] is shown.

What am I doing wrong?

How are you trying to use it? The attribute is the correct way. — H H, Sep 14 '12 at 10:14

Everything is fine. By convention all attribute classes end with the word attribute, but this doesn't need to be written in the code as the pre-compiler will add the word attribute to the end. — gideon, Sep 14 '12 at 10:21

You do nothing wrong. Use this attribute to define the managed signature for the method you want to import.

As Example

[DllImport("kernel32.dll", BestFitMapping = false, 
                CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
private static extern IntPtr GetModuleHandle(string moduleName);

Look in MSDN for all possible parameter for DllImport
