thank you for the reply.

it will compile, but it will fail with an exception.
that will also happen if i declare the variable in a function and than try to do my new.

void testers() {
	  XXX tester = new XXX(); <---- exception
	  tester.Stop(); 
}

could it be, that the extern(Windows) is a problem?
