plit string,
I had the same issue before. Unfortunatly, there isn't a way I know of to call them directly in TestStand and get a string return. But, the easy solution I used was instead of rewriting my existing dll, I wrote a simple wrapper dll around the original. It only needs to be a few lines per function and only wrap the functions that return char *. Then your wrapper can handle the char * returns and you can get the strings from TestStand via ref. I know it's not the optimal solution but at least you don't have to touch your existing dll.
