i check again all day for test i cant find any different between the files that run from api and the file that cant
only one different
the file cant run from api(i mean not run the m function only run the gcode movement) size is 17kb
the files that can run was much more smaller
is that can be that the API cant use well when i have that size files?(17Kb its not so big only 1120 lines)
thanks

Make sure you are starting the C# application with the correct working directory (where Mach4core.dll resides). 

As far as non English strings is concerned, strings must be passed to the API as char * in C, but you can pass UTF8 strings in that parameter as well.  So don't convert from UTF8 to ASCII before passing the string but instead cast the UTF8 string to a char *.  I pretty much hate anything that is CLR from Microsoft so I have no idea how to do that in c#.
