C# Invoking MC++

I have a C# program invoking a MC++ method. One of the output parameters is
an "int".... defined as "int iretval". In the C# program I want to pass the
parameter as either "ref iretval" or "out iretval". In each case..... how
must the corresponding "int" be defined in the MC++ method ?.... so that it
is compile-error free ?

Help ...

I have tried that.... I get the following compiler error...

error CS1503: Argument '3': cannot convert from 'ref int' to 'int*'

Do you have any other suggestions ?

Sorry, we are talking IJW. Enter the unsafe context....

C#
int i;
unsafe {c.ModInt(&i);}

C++
void ModInt(int* i)
{
*i = 123;
}

Or:
C#
unsafe {
c.ModInt(&i);
...
C++
void ModInt(int& i)
{
i = 123;
}

Or in a "safe" context:

C#
c.ModInt(ref i);

C++
1)
void ModInt3(System: :Int32& i)
{
i = 13;
}

2)
void ModInt3(System: :Int32* i)
{
*i = 13;
}

That's all I can think about.
Note that if you pass anything that is not stack allocated to unmanaged code
you need to pin the variable..

Hi, I've been trying a long time now to generate some XML using MC++ and XmlSerializer. I have a piece of C# code that produces exactly what I want, but I simply can't get the MC++ code to write the same thing. Below I have included two minimal compilable samples that illustrate my problem. The C# code produces this XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

In C++ an overridden virtual function in a derived class must have the exact same signature of the function which is overridden in the base class, except for the return type which may return a pointer or reference to a derived type of the base class's return type. In .NET the overridden virtual function is similar, but an actual parameter of the function can be a derived reference from the base class's reference also. This dichotomy...

I have an application written in C that does a lot of low level stuff. It does a lot of things like casting from void*'s. I want to create a new GUI for it in either C# or MC++, but reuse the existing code. The options I've considered so far: 1. Create a new MC++ GUI project and add the *.c files to them and mark them with pragma unamanged. However, the /clr option does not compile *.c files, so I rename them to *.cpp, and now they...

Just a quickie. Is there a way to cause a browser to open it's find... dialogue in response to an event, say a click on a button? The idea is that there's a list of addresses that a client has used for delivery in the past, but in some cases this list can be rather long, and a lot of clients don't know about the browser find in page dialogue. I'd imagine getting the browser to generate it's own ctrl-f event would be impossible, but...
