Hi all:

I have a database access library written in C++ (unmanaged), complete with
source code. What I would like to do is be able to use this library in C#.
How is the best way to go about this.

Taking into consideration the library has about 80 classes, writing the
marshaled interfaces could be quite a task. Can I 'wrap' it in a managed C++
layer of some sort?

TIA,
Martin.

Hi Martin.

This is something we do a lot of here at Microsoft. Did you start with:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vcmxspec/ht
ml/vcManExMigrationGuidePart1_Start.asp

If that doesn't solve the problem for you, or give you enough information,
let me know and I'll look into the issue further.

Thanks!

Mike

my needs.

Thanks again for the pointers.
