Dear All, i have a Unmanaged c++ based Library and i want to use it C# application(i.e. it expose some c based function .. ).. could some one give some pointer to use unmanaged library in c#.. so that i don't have to provide some extra dll or lib with c# to my end user.... thanks in advance

It doesn't work that way, you will still need to include the C++ dll.
only two letters away from being an asset

DllImportonly works with unmanaged DLLs. An unmanaged static library (LIB) can't be used this way from C#. Only C++/CLI can mix managed and unmanaged code. As far as I can see you have 4 options: - Take the sources and convert them to C#. - Change the unmanaged project to build a DLL and then useDllImport. - Create a mixed mode (managed - unmanaged) wrapper DLL in C++/CLI. - Write the client application in C++/CLI.Regards, Tim
