extern "C" in C++/CLI?

Don Rolando

Short questions: Can I include old C code? So far I was used to have an extern "C" block around the corresponding include-instructions. Is this still possible in C++/CLI, or does "managed C++" not allow any C code at all? At least the compiler tells me that the file I wanted to include cannot be compiled with /clr option. ;-)

Yes

I don't know what you mean but I just added these, compiled and executed my project without error.

extern "C" int getfoo(){ return 12; }
extern "C" int getbar(){ return 14; }

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{

System::Console::WriteLine("Mixed Mode Console (v 1.0)");
    System::Console::WriteLine(System::String::Format("foo: {0}", getfoo()));

    System::ConsoleKeyInfo ki = System::Console::ReadKey();
    return 0;
}
