Calling MFC Lib from C# using Wrapper classes

I have an MFC static lib which exports som classes, it still needs to be
available to MFC apps and now C# apps as well. For C# I am creating a wrapper
dll that will link in the library. My question is for the function
ProcessStructs which takes a CTypedPtrArray pointer as a parameter. Are my
steps below correct or is there an easy way to do this?

Redefine my struct to .Net compatible version in my wrapper class
Would I have to make my wrapper function take a .Net array ref and then
convert it over to a CTypedPtrArray?
Call my MFC function ProcessStructs
Copy the structs back to my .Net array before returning from my wrapper
function?

Original MFC class sample

class CMFCTest
{
public:
struct TestStruct
{
CString str1;
CString str2;
int nCnt;
}
void ProcessStructs( CTypedPtrArray< CPtrArray, TestStruct*>* pStructs);
}
Thanks
Kurt

I have a Java program, composed of a number of classes, that I've been running as a command line program. It logs everything it does and, as it logs each event, it also prints that line of info to the console. I would like to create a wrapper class to open a window, call my application, and redirect all the output to a TextField in the window. I know I could have the wrapper simply run a command line instance of the app (like "java...

I have an Access MDB which instantiates a class in a custom DLL, manipulates it for a while, then sets it equal nothing. The MDB does other things,too, and generally behaves itself as desired. But, if I have done the DLL thing, even though I close the MDB, Access refuses to close. If I haven't used the DLL, all is well. The DLL is one I wrote myself in VB. I'm quite stumped, and rather guess the problem may be in the DLL (I've also

Hi, I've got a legacy application written in C. I'd like to evolve the product (as opposed to completely rewriting it) by adding new features using C#. Is this possible? I know I should be able to call a managed-code DLL from C, but I am unsure of the best way to do it, and also how I might marshal the data between the two parts between the managed and unmanaged parts of the application. Can anyone point me in a direction? Thanks.

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...
