I got the same problem with this code:

    [DllImport("camapi.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
private static extern CSTATUS_T CWRAPPER_GetFriendlyName(IntPtr pCameraBus, string sCamID, out StringBuilder sFriendlyName, 
                                                         uint uBufferSizeInWords);

public static string CWRAPPER_GetFriendlyName(IntPtr pCameraBus, string sCamID)
{
    var sFriendlyName = new StringBuilder(256);
    var status = CWRAPPER_GetFriendlyName(pCameraBus, sCamID, out sFriendlyName, (uint)s.Capacity + 1);
    return (status == CSTATUS_T.CSTATUS_SUCCESS) ? sFriendlyName.ToString() : "";
}

The problem was the "out" keyword. The example on MSDN doesn't have the 'out'.

Hope that helps someone... Simon
