calling managed c++ from an unmanaged mfc application (VC 7.1)

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

Eine Ausnahme (erste Chance) bei 0x7c928fea in SeaMain.exe: 0xC0000005:
Zugriffsverletz ung-Schreibposition 0x00000010.

Eine Ausnahme (erste Chance) bei 0x7c974ed1 in SeaMain.exe: 0xC0000005:
Access violation.

From what I have found in the net I conclude that calling managed code from
unmanaged code in an MFC application requires hosting the CLR somehow using
CorBindToRuntim eEx

Moreover it looks as if I have to use COM interop in that case.

If these conclusion are wrong, (which I silently hope) how can I call into
managed dll from an unmanaged MFC application?

Thanks in advance,

1) There is no need to call CorBindToRuntim eEx manually.
2) Choose the /Zi compiler switch for your whole project
3) Add a new file to your project.
4) Modify the following property switches for the file
set /clr (mixed code compilation model)
set /EHa (async exceptions)
don't set /Gm, /RTC1 (non minimal rebuild, no runtime checks)
don't use /Yu (precompiled header)
5) In your file write something like this
#using "MyCSharpUIDLL. dll"

void ShowCSharpDialo g()
{
MyCSharpDialog dlg = __gc new MyCSharpDialog( );
dlg.ShowDialog( );
}
6) Call that functin from your code

I have a multi-threaded C# console application that uses WMI (System.Management namespace) to make RPC calls to several servers (600+ ) and returns ScheduledJobs.

Hi, We are in a situation where we have a Win32 application which is currently deployed to about 15000 desktop machines and want to rewrite the back end (business logic) in a modern language.

Thus, we are currently evaluating several alternatives for programming languages and one very favourite candidate is C#.

Hi all, I'm trying to make a plugin DLL for a third-party application, using VC++ .NET 2003. This DLL acts as a bridge between the C++ plugin API of the application, and my actual plugin code written in C#. When the app calls my unmanaged functions, they work fine. But as soon as my unmanaged functions call managed functions (in the same source file!), the app reports an "unknown exception" error.
