[Daylor]

its go like this.
i have some hardware that came with dll to access his resources and manage
them.
(there is nice api).
my target:
i want to create a class for each resource ,and able to manage him in the
O.O way.
(and not in the c/procedural way).

this dll will be accessed from mulithread application.

the question his, can i create my component,with all my requirments, WITHOUT
USING COM.(atl for example).

what are my options to do my thing ?

hope im clear.
have a nice day.

You can use platform invoke to access the api stored in dll

If the DLL exposes some functions, then you can simply call it from C# via
P-Invoke.
You can also use (managed) C++.
