public const string EngineDLL = @"engine.dll";[DllImport(EngineDLL, EntryPoint = "OpenModel")]
public static extern Int64 OpenModel(string fileName);

[DllImport(EngineDLL, EntryPoint = "OpenModel")]
public static extern Int64 OpenModel(byte[] fileName);

Property fileName

Size: 32 bit / 4 byte (reference)
The file name of the file as available in the file system in ASCII (char *). The given char array will not be adjusted, on each OS the size of a char element is 8 bit / 1 byte.
