Curiosity: C# and C++ in one assembly

Hi all,

Just from a pure curiosity standpoint, would it be possible to have an
assembly with both c++ and c#? Google searches seem to hint at a "yes"
but I'm not so sure.

thanks,
HC

BTW, I assume you are talking about managed C++ right?

It should be noted that Jeremy's response is incorrect.

Assuming managed C++, you can compile one of your projects into a
netmodule (let's assume the C++ one to start). When compiling the C# code,
on the command line, you would use the /addmodule switch and reference the
C++ module, and it will be included in the assembly and its manifest.

purposes, I believe they are still separate files (multiple-file assembly).

There is an ILMerge utility around somewhere that would generate a single
file, not sure if it is updated to support the latest .NET assembly format.
