Why are you asking this on the C# group? You have unmanaged C++ code, you
need a managed C++/CLI wrapper...

Unless the native code implements COM, it will not be entirely automatic.

Sorry about that, I just found the C++ group, named vc. (The comp hierarchy
has separate C and C++ sub-hierarchies, and it didn't occur that the two
languages would be merged into one group here.)
