how to make C# code work with C++ (6.0/evc)

[Amadej]

Hello everyone,
let me explain the situation. We have an old application written in
C++ (embedded visual c), and I wrote a new component for it
(communication component with a custom protocol) in .NET.
Now we need to make the program and the component work together, which
of course is a problem. The only way I figured it would work is if I
make the .NET part a standalone application, and let them communicate
over TCP/IP, which would involve making a communication protocol for
the two applications.

My question is, does anybody have a better idea?

Regards,
Amadej.

Using the COM Interop services, you could export the .NET component as a COM
server and register it that way.

Look for Com Callable Wrapper, tlbexp.exe and RegAsm in the .NET
documentation
