We've currently got a C++ client/server app that uses DCOM in order to make
remote calls. We want to replace DCOM with a .NET Web Service. The server
piece seems clear to me. I can write it using MC++ and then can call my
native C++ server code from within the Web Service. What I am unsure about
is the client piece.
The GUI is written in C++. Will I be able to call the Web Service from
native C++ code? At first, I thought I would have a managed class (in a
DLL) that would proxy all the calls to the web service. Now I'm not sure if
I would be able to call the managed class' methods, or even load a managed
DLL, from an unmanaged application. I also think there is a SOAP toolkit
that I can use in my native code to make calls to the web service, but not
sure if that would be a good approach.
Basically, I'm just looking for some advice on what would be the best way to
code the client piece of this web service (i.e. basically how to call
managed code from unmanaged code). Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim Rogers

Apart from asking 'why' you need/want to do this in the first place, i.e. don't
mess with working code, you have what is, to me, another good alternative. ATL
Server means you can code in the unmanaged C++ you know, and produce a
fast/robust web service on the server side.

Similarly, unless you have a compelling reason at this time to put the .Net
runtime on all of you client machines and run it that way, then using the SOAP
toolkit or the like would be a good way to go.
Good Luck

Just started working on this and have not found any real good resources out
there. We have a lot of native C++ Dll code that we use for our app. We want
to share the code so that C# ASP.net code can use the same business logic as
our C++ client. Here are some questions:
1) Is there a way to call into native C++ classes directly? Meaning we do
not have C API. I believe we could use a C API using the in C#.
2) If can't do #1, do we need...

I'm currently working in a mixed mode project where the exe is C#, there is a

I can build/link/run just fine, the question isn't about that.
What I'm after is, if I have another client that uses the C++ managed assembly,
I want the unmanaged DLL somehow to tag along. I've looked at /link in AL.exe,
and /assemblymodule, but either I'm not...

I'm still trying to figure out some of the nuances of access to legacy
Win32 DLLs. I need to alloc buffers to be used by the Win32 DLLs. I
know that pinning a managed pointer can lead to framentation, but I
don't see an alternative. Is there an easy way to generate a call to
native malloc()? Doesn't this also fragment memory?
(I'll be using C++/CLI, if that matters)

Hey,
I wrote a managed c++ class library in viusal studio 2005. This managed

every thing worked fine. Now I need to call the managed c++ class

Hi,
I have a winform client which consumes a WCF service. I have a single
service client(proxy) at the winform side, but spread the service calls into
multiple threads so that they can do works concurrently. My confusion is, as
all threads share the same proxy, will one thread block another while calling
a long running service? Is this related to the service concurrent
configuration?
Thanks.

Hi...
I've got a .Net client to a soap service that works for the most part, but
there are a couple of things I'd like to improve:
1) the first request to the client wrapper always takes 12-15 seconds even
though the web server shows < a half second spent on the request. What takes
so much time for the client wrapper to warm up? All subsequent requests,
even to the same method, take the half second.
