Description Ciaran Gultnieks 2008-11-12 11:13:26 UTC 
For example, definitions such as this:

Declare Ansi Function GetClassName Lib "user32" Alias "GetClassNameA" (ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal nMaxCount As Int32) As Int32


give a compile error when there is an Alias present, but work fine otherwise.

A workaround is to use the <DllImport> syntax instead.
