Hi Ba,
maybe i could recommend you two books about C++/CLI:
First, "Pro Visual C++/CLI and the .NET 2.0 Platform" by Stephen R.G.
Fraser. This is an introductory manual to .NET from the C++/CLI perspective.
It's like a beginner C# book, but instead using c#, it uses C++/CLI. Here
you will find how to use the managed .NET API from C++/CLI.
Second, "C++/CLI in Action" by Nishant Sivakumar. This book complements
the first one, and it speaks more about interop and has many examples and
test cases, for example, how to build a managed wrapper around a native
library (the way to go with OSG and .NET).
A side note, Microsoft changed C++ drastically from .NET 1.1 to 2.0.
There are two managed C++ languages specifications. The first one (already
obsolete) is Managed C++. This was the first attempt of Microsoft to "bridge
the gap". Not very nice. The second one, C++/CLI, is the last attempt and is
more mature and easier to grasp. Forget all you know about Managed C++, and
use only C++/CLI. This ones confused me at first, so, if you find references
regarding Managed C++, ignore them. I think "Managed C++" and "C++\CLI" are
the proper terms to search and separate them.
Of course, if you are new to C++, grasp also a good book about C++ and
STL. It will help you to better understand OSG.
Sorry OSG community for this off-topic message.
Hope this can help you. Best regards.
Himar.
