Hi
Well finally something I feel qualified to comment on!
I'm not sure about C++ functions, but you can definitely call C functions which are exposed in DLLs using P/Invoke in .NET. It's very simple - you just create a bunch of .NET functions which match the C function signatures, then you can use certain attributes for telling it which DLL the method is in and how to marshal the managed memory to unmanaged memory. If you want a nice API it's best to design something that behaves more like a .NET component would (
e.g using delegates and event handlers rather than inheriting off the PropertyListener for notifications) which would take some work.
Anyway I can't possibly agree with Hugh's statement about C# being the same as VB! It's much closer to C++/Java. Maybe he meant that VB.NET and C# will both compile into the same MSIL code or something?
Regards,
Neil

Am I correct that it's no problem to call C++ code or link against a C++ library
from .net? Would the C++ library (libvos for example :) need to be compiled
with CLR (".net extensions") enabled?
