[ Late reply, but this may help others :smile: ]

Well, I think that should not be too difficult. You can use DllImport.

Say you have the following C++ func in a dll :

Code: c++

// int Sum (int, int) inside MyDll.dll
int Sum(int x, int y)
{      return x + y;      }

and you want to use it in your C# app.

So, you can use it like this :

Code: c#

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices; //For "DllImport"

namespace MyCSharp
{
      class Program
      {
      [DllImport("MathFuncsDll.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
      public static extern Int32 Sum(Int32 a, Int32 b);

            static void Main()
            {
                  Console.WriteLine(Sum(3, 4));
            }
      }
}

Simple, isn't it ?

PS : Just embed a manifest to avoid the error : "An application has made an attempt to load the C Runtime library without using a manifest."
