Hello,

one option is to use pinvoke this can be used to call native functions from
managed dlls

the problem with p/invoke that you can call only functions but cannot use
classes from the dll. The other option would be to recompile your code under
.NET.

Hi,

There are two options for this.

1. This is a kind of extending the C++ dll. Identify the
functionalities you want to get done by the C++ dll. Wrap them
into additional exported functions in the C++ dll. Keep in mind
that the new functions should only recieve arguments which are of
primitive types or structures which has only premitive members.
This applies to the return types as well. These new functions are
the ones which you might use in your C# code. Redefine these
functions in C# using DllImport attribute and use them.

2. Convert the C++ dll into a COM project. Reference the output
COM dll in your C# project. This way you can directly use the
types (classes) defined within your COM dll.
