There is a project to automate the creation of C wrapper code for existing C++ code: swig, the Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator.
See http://www.swig.org It can be used to generate the C wrapper for a C++ class, and then generate the C# wrapper code which invokes the C code. The one downside is that C# code support is only available in the development version, last time I checked. - Jon On Sun, 2003-06-15 at 21:23, Marcus wrote: > I do not know of any Managed C++ compilers other than VS.NET.
