Hello,
I have a scenario where my CPP project is not compiled with CLR support,
but some of the CPP files have the /clr option set. In file1.cpp, the /clr
switch is not set. In file2.cpp, the /clr switch is set. file2.h is the
header for file2.cpp, and this header is included in file1.cpp. file2.h
contains method signatures containing only native types, including some
funtions which take a CString parameter or a const pointer to char, e.g.
void MyFunc (const char* param);
Methods in file1.cpp calls the functions declared in file2.h (and
implemented in file2.cpp), including the two with a CString and const pointer
to char parameters. My question is, should I be doing any marshalling of
data at this point (presumably in file1.cpp) when moving from native to
managed code? If so, what type of marshalling should I do and how?
Thank you,
Notre 4 2719

No, it should just work seamlessly.
Are you having a problem?

Hi David,
No, I'm not seeing any problem. I just thought that when passing
non-primitive values from native to managed code I would need to do some type
of marshalling.
The compiler does complain when trying to use native & managed types that
don't match. However, the compiler doesn't catch the case where native code
holds a reference to a managed object, which can be garbage collected if not
pinned. I thought there might be something I need to do in the scenario I
described earlier as well (but don't know what)...

That's always reassuring :)

I won't pretend to know what goes on since I've not yet needed to
know, but one of the essential points of the C++ compiler was that it
should just work (the old IJW "It Just Works" TLA) with /clr.

I have an existing VC6 application using the MFC.
I am able to pass CString and other parameters from such a VC6 dll to an

Now I want to use .Net functionality, i.e. calling methods in managed code.
How do I pass CString variables for input and output usage, i.e. providing
and retrieving char arrays?

I want to cast a class into a byte array. I've seen some examples of this
floating around, but they all have simple data members. What happens if I
cast something that has a ArrayList or an Array?? Does it loop through the
array and cast them all and I end up with a big array (This is what I hope
will happen)? Or does it simple cast the pointer address and I end up with a
small array??

I need to marshal an IntPtr (which I've got from GlobalLock of an HGLOBAL)

Using Marshal.PtrStructure doesn't work - it says my byte() array is not

because that works the other way around (for mashalling to COM, not from
it).

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
