Need to call a C# DLL from WINAPI DLL

[John Hann]

I'm trying to extend the version of IAS server included in Windows
Server 2003 with a custom DLL. IAS, unfortunately, insists on loading
Extension DLLs with the Win32 LoadLibrary() function, which means that
wrapping my DLL with COM or .Net is not supported. So, I'm wondering if
there is a good way to call a C# method from an old school WINAPI DLL
function. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Hi John:

Two ideas:
You could write some managed C++, or you could write a COM component
in C# that's callable from unmanaged code.
