Hi C++ experts ,

actually my knowledge is not very good I can call my self degree 2 beginner ,
But I know how to do things in C#, and write now I need to execute what I have already done in C#, in a c++ code.
MORE EXPLANATION : I need my c++ (native code ) to perform some actions that I already have a c# code that perform it,
is there a way to use my already code in C# to be executed in C++ , (the C++ code is to be dll file, so I think that saving C# as dll is not helping , is it?), I read somewhere in the net that there is a way but I could not get it ,

I hope I made my self clear
I really need urgent help in this
Thanks for who took time and read, double for how is going to answer.

You do it the same way you call managed code from VB6: Make sure the C# code has a COM callable wrapper and use COM from native C++ to access the C# code through the COM interface. Edward can't offer much in the way of details though, due to lack of experience in that area. Ed's written managed DLLs for a COM driver, but not the other way around. :(

A MSDN article
How to call a managed DLL from native Visual C++ code in Visual Studio.NET or in Visual Studio 2005
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/828736
It assumes that you have a managed DLL + a native application. (Hopefully this one is of more use than the previous one.)

yes it helps and yes it is almost that way ,
but in addition the native code is supposed to be dll too, is it ok to call dll inside a dll?

Thanks again :)
