re: Data marshaling between unmanaged C++ & C#

Another question:
How can I deal with C# types in unmanaged code?

This is only possible with COM-Interop.
Thus you have to design your C# class to be COM compliant,
then register it as a COM component with the REGASM tool:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...nentstocom.asp

Sure, the unmanaged/C++ side has to use the COM API / interfaces
(like CoCreateInstance) to access this COM component.


Note, there is 'Managed C++' where you can mix
managed and unmanaged C++ code:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...lcmainnode.asp

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...MCOverview.asp

Thus you could use 'Managed C++' as a bridge between
unmanaged C++ code and C#.
