If you want to write your dll in managed code for ease... then c# that and write a managed c++ wrapper that is c callable. It's not too bad and dark. Well, some exceptions but for the most part easy just for a wrapper. There was another neat workaround somewhere - read an article a while back about tweaking your IL to make it c callable though... but since you find the c++ easy to do.. then the managed wrapper is the easiest. This wasn't the article but is related dealing with callbacks. http://www.dotnet247.com/247reference/msgs/17/87210.aspx and http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/cdeclcallback.asp?df=100&forumid=248333&ex p=0&select=1317814#xx1317814xx
but the managed route is best because of thread calling reasons: http://blogs.msdn.com/cbrumme/archive/2003/04/15/51325.aspx -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of advanced .NET topics. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shawn Wildermuth Sent: Sunday, January 28, 2007 11:02 AM To: ADVANCED-DOTNET@DISCUSS.DEVELOP.COM Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] C Callable DLL I am working with an old API that wants me to write a C Callable DLL. I can do this in C++ easily (and did that years ago). Before I delve into the dark world of MC++, does anyone know if there is another route in .NET to do this?
