How to use UNmanaged C++ in .NET (using managed C++)
-
I have been looking all over without finding any proper explanation of how to use unmanaged C++ in C# with the help of managed C++. Can anyone please give a simple step by step guide how to create the projects and show what settings to fiddle around with? (Please don't give any links to MSDN, I allready checked them out and it didn't help (sure I might be stupid but not really that stupid..)). Thank you.

Thank you, but I'm still looking for a proper explanation of how to write wrapper classes in managed C++ for my unmanaged C++ classes. Sorry I didn't tell in the first message.

I have allready seen the so called "Migration Guide" that consists of two parts, which the first one I find completly useless. I am able to write a wrapper class, but still I wonder how you can create three different projects in a solution, one for your unmanaged c++ class that you want to wrap, a second for your managed c++ wrapper class and third a c# project that uses the wrapper class. How to do that is not included in The Migration Guide.

Yes. Let's say that you have some nice C++ classes you implemented some while ago and that you want to use them in your C# project. I can't figure out how to create a new solution from scratch and then create three different projects; one unmanaged for your old C++ classes, a managed C++ project for your wrapper and a third for your C#. I guess the main problem I have is to choose the proper settings for the unmanaged project since there are no such thing as a unmanaged C++ class library. I beleived that this was a trvial task, but I still don't know how to get it working. Thanks for the replies.

1. Wrap your unmanaged C/C++ code in a static library. 2. Make a Managed C++ DLL project, with all the Managed C++ wrapper classes. Link with the static library created in 1. 3. Use the DLL created in step 2, in a C# project of your choice. It will work 100%.
