I'm looking for a document, tutorial or clear example on how to start
RIL development on VS (C#). Having the .lib and .h provided in previous
posts still can't figure out what to do with it. How to convert it to a
..dll? Please help, thankful for any comments.

You can't create a managed DLL from a LIB and a header. If the functions
are compiled into some actual DLL (don't know if the lib is dynamic or
statically linked) then you would use the header file to hand-write a
P/Invoke declaration layer for your C# application. If it's not in a DLL,
then you have to create one in native C that exports functions that you can
in turn P/Invoke.

There are lots of examples an tutorials on the web covering P/Invoke.
Probably none covering RIL specifically (and if it's anything like TAPI,
it's a very complex and difficult beast to wrap so I wish you luck).

In fact I only need to use one method of the RIL:
HRESULT RIL_GetCellTowerInfo(HRIL hRil);
, but I'm still confused how a wrapper should look like, and how to
invoke the HRESULT RIL_Initialize(...) method. What do the parameters
stand for?? I'd be grateful for a simple example of that...

You can PInvoke the RIL methods using the DLLImport attribute. Here is a web
site I found by searching for RIL_Initialize and C#. Hopefully this will
help:

A slightly cleaner URL to the same is:
