No, you can't use C# nor any other managed language for this, your only
option is unmanaged C/C++.

Hello Willy Denoyette [MVP],

That's not quite acurate.
ASM is certainly an option, as is (I believe) Delphi, or any other language
that outputs native PE code.

Well, every language/tool that can export C style function entries can be
used to produce msgina.dll's, this excludes ALL managed languages (including
Java). Sure you can use ASM for this, but why would you, Delphi could be
used as well, be it that it's runtime library is a bit large to link against
a msgina, which results in an increased memory footprint.
Anyway, nothing to worry about, msgina is going away in Vista and beyond.

Willy.
