I have a case where a C# dll is being consumed by an unmanaged C++
executable. One of the dll methods returns a StringCollectio n object. What
are the requirements for the C++ executable in terms of .h, .tlb files to be
included/imported, and the syntax for consuming the StringCollectio n object?
TIA. 2 2171

You can use .NET via COM, see "Runtime Callable Wrapper". However that
might not be the easiest way to go.
Is the .dll a hard dependency (exe can't work without it) or a soft
dependency (lose some features but press forward)?
If it is a hard dependency, then your exe is actually dependent on the .NET
framework (exe needs dll needs framework). In that case, see if your exe
works correctly when built with /clr.

I created a .NET class library with the following C# code:
using System;
using System.Runtime. InteropServices ;
using System.Collecti ons.Specialized ;
namespace ClassLibrary3
{
[GuidAttribute(" 6F66DEAB-1BCF-4ce4-AB06-D298BA2B56CA")]
public class MyClass : IMyClass
{
public MyClass()
{}
void IMyClass.MyMeth od(out StringCollectio n strings)
{
strings = new StringCollectio n();
strings.Add("Fi rst string");
strings.Add("Se cond string");
}
}
[GuidAttribute(" F26D63B9-C3A8-4f1a-9B17-1C441DE58EAF")]
public interface IMyClass
{
void MyMethod(out StringCollectio n strings);
}
}
I registered this project for COM Interop.
I then created a console application in VC++, where I added a reference to
the class library project (both projects are in the same solution). I am not
very familiar with COM programming using C++. My intention is to consume the
class library above in unmanaged C++. I added the following code in the
console application, but it is incomplete since I don't know how to go about
it.
#include "stdafx.h"
#import "mscorlib.t lb"
//#import "..\ClassLibrar y3\bin\Debug\Cl assLibrary3.tlb "
#using <mscorlib.dll >
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Collect ions::Specializ ed;
//using namespace ClassLibrary3;
int _tmain()
{
::CoInitialize( 0);
ClassLibrary3:: IMyClassPtr pIMyClass(__uui dof(ClassLibrar y3::MyClass));
// pIMyClass.MyMet hod();
return 0;
}
Can somebody help me and show me how to consume the .NET class?

Hello everyone,
I'm currently trying to migrate a MSVC6 project to .NET... The straight
conversion (ie : unmanaged) was extremely straightforward. Now I'm trying to
compile and hopefully run the project as managed to estimate the kind of
performance difference there will be for the kind of applications we do
here.
The project is composed of a EXE and 5 different DLLs. One of these DLL is
unmanaged (VC6) and can hopefully stay that way...

Hello,
Am I mistaken in thinking that if I have a mc++ dll that I should be able to

I am currently testing this and it fails. I have a native, unmanaged test
application that links against my mc++ dll with a function entry point.
Linking works fine, no errors. When I try to run in the debugger I see the

Hi All,
We have a web-application in asp.net that interacts with legacy code
written in COM. The memory usage in aspnet_wp.exe increases every sec
and never reduces. Using the .NET performance counters, we found that
unmanaged memory was 90% of the total private bytes of aspnet_wp.exe.
We suspected that the COM code has memory leaks. So we made it as a
COM+ Service running as dllhost.exe. Surprisingly, there was no memory

Hi,
I have a little problem with managed/unmanaged in Visual Studio 2005
(Compiler setting /clr). I need to overhand several function pointers
from managed to unmanaged. These function pointers are stored in an
unmanaged struct and this struct is then overhanded by reference to the
unmanaged code (See code pieces below).
I thought the way to go is to create a delegate, pin it via
GCHandel::Alloc and use the function

Hi,
I try to use a C# Dialog in a legacy MFC application.
The problem seems to boil down to the following:
from an unmanaged console application I can call any function of the managed
bridge - if I try to do the same from my mfc application the application
won't start
'SeaMain.exe': 'E:\WINDOWS\system32\mscoree.dll' geladen, Keine Symbole

'SeaMain.exe': 'E:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcr71d.dll' geladen, Symbole geladen.
