    Hi,

    I have a static .lib file which contains 'C' functions. How to import this library file into C# application and call the C functions in .lib library file.

    Thanks.

    You will need to compile the .lib file into a DLL to access it from a C# app. The best way would probably be to create a Windows Runtime Component to expose the lib's functions as runtime classes, but you could also create a normal DLL which exports the functions and p-invoke them.
