Dear David:
Do you have "Instant C++: convert VB or C# to C++/CLI"
product that works in the .NET Framework 1.1 platform?
The C++ compiler targetting .NET Framework 1.x was badly broken, considered
unfixable by Microsoft. Fixing the problems required not only a new
compiler but also sweeping changes to the runtime. These changes are
included in .NET 2.0. In fact, all the "workarounds" for the Managed
Extensions for C++ require using .NET 2 or later.
p/invoke and COM are the only reliable methods of interop in .NET 1.x
The upgrade from .NET 1.x to .NET 2.0 isn't optional like upgrading Office,
it's more like upgrading Internet Explorer where there are critical security
improvements and bug fixes included in the new version.
