DllImport question for importing classes

[Rookie]

Hi,

Can DllImport be used to import a class from a C++ DLL into a C# project. If
yes, can someone provide links to tutorials, samples et al.

Hope to hear from someone, soon. Thank you.

You may be able to call some of the class methods. This is
demonstrated in the file
Samples\Technologies\Interop\PlatformInvoke\Custom\CS\ClassMethods.cs
in the .NET SDK. But allocating and freeing instances of the class
must still be performed in native code. Generally a better solution is
to writea a managed C++ wrapper for the class.
