Hi.
I think that you are encountering a "TypeLoadException in module Unknown".
The problem is due to the fact that the standard winpcap include file
"pcap.h" contains only a forward declaration of "struct pcap", but not the
actual definition of it. As a consequence, the managed c++ compiler does not
emit any metadata for that type, since there's no definition for it.
There are two solutions to the problem:
1. Include "pcap-int.h" instead of "pcap.h". This include the actual
definition for the type "struct pcap"
2. add a fake definition of "struct pcap". The simplest one is "struct
pcap{};".
Have a nice day
