C# library to native C++ application

Question

I know I can use dll import + wrapping (managed) to use C++ libraries in C# applications (question link>>) but what\'s opposite? How can I use C# library in my C++ application?

Answer 1

You will have to take care to expose your interface from the C# library to a C++-compatible layer.

Out of the top of my head, you could do two things:

• Create a C API on top of your C# library (best way would be to add a C++/CLI layer to your library).

• Create a COM interface to your C# library and use the library through COM objects.
