strdup() is nothing more than malloc() followed by strcpy(); it is such 
a fundamental operation to copy strings into newly allocated memory that 
I'm surprised that you don't know how to do that natively in C# without 
having to bind in strdup() in the first place (even if you do have to do 
it in two phases of allocation and copying rather than as a single 
function call).
