Calling Legacy C function from Managed C++

Forgive me if my post seems a little amateurish...

I'm requesting assistance from some of you smart folks out there to
get the managed calls write that meet the specification in the esa.h
for Esa_Init. When I make a call, VS2005 reports
"AccessViolatio nException" and refers to the 4th parameter
(EsaT_State_Han dle). I don't know how to define nor pass this
reference correctly to the legacy DLL. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
in advance!!
esa.h
*************** *************** ****
#define SIM_EXPORT DLLIMPORT

typedef struct EsaT_State EsaT_State;
typedef EsaT_State * EsaT_State_Hand le;

typedef enum EsaT_Compcode
{
EsaC_Comp_Failu re,
EsaC_Comp_Succe ss
} EsaT_Compcode;

DLLIMPORT EsaT_Compcode Esa_Init (int argc, char *argv[], int options,
EsaT_State_Hand le * esa_state_pptr) ;
*************** *************** ******
CPP Wrapper in DLL:
*************** *************
#include "stdafx.h" //Includes esa.h above

//Globals
EsaT_State_Hand le esaHandle;

extern "C" __declspec(dlle xport) int __stdcall main(int argc, char*
argv[])
{
Esa_Init(argc, argv, ESAC_OPTS_NONE, &esaHandle);
return 0;
}
*************** **************

Hi, I am developing a new application running on Windows platform that needs to interface with existing legacy code - written in basic C / C++. I am trying to evaluate Java vs C# implementations. Originally, I have the impression that C# should be a clear winner. I started with Java and using the guideline from the book "Java Native Interface". Though complex, the book provide details of the practical implementation and potential...

I posted for help on legacy code interface 2 days ago. Probably I didn't make it clear in my original mail. I got a couple of answers but none of them address my issues directly (See attached response). My first reply directed me to source code migration but I didn't have the source code. The second reply mentioned about .NET interoperability (PInvoke I think) but I MENTIONED THAT I COULDN'T FIND ANY DOCUMENTATION FROM MSDN LIBRARY BASED ON...

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.

First off, the sympathy is for all you poor buggers out there who have to figure out how to marry Managed Extensions for C++ onto your legacy code. My condolences; my brief experience with the process leads me to believe the Microsoft hates all of its VC++ developers :) Now, the question. I'm getting a NullReferenceException in a __gc class that wraps functionality in a legacy C/C++ app (it's actually part of the Nero burning rom api). ...

Does anyone have a simple "Hello World" like application that demonstrates unmanaged C++ calling managed C++ developed in VS2005? I'm confused by many posts as they discuss managed extensions from VS2003, and related techniques. I have found managed to unmanaged technique very easy in VS2005, but have not been able to build anything with unmanaged to managed calls. I have legacy (unmanaged C++) that would like to leverage the .NET...

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

I have a C# logging assembly with a static constructor and methods that is called from another C# Assembly that is used as a COM interface for a VB6 Application.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
