Dave,

You won't be able to use them directly in .NET. Rather, you will have
to create a new managed C++ project where you would link to the lib, and
expose the classes inside of it. If they are just functions, then you can
wrap the functions in a regular dll that exports functions, and then access
it through the P/Invoke layer.

Hope this helps.
