I have a .dll that is c++ (not .net) with an #include file (...h).

how can I make it work with my c# .net app? or is it possible? I
really need this one from Microsoft, it is bidispl.dll and bidispl.h.
Thanks,
Trint
 
The bi-directional spooler interface is exposed through some low level COM
interfaces (the COM dll bidispl.dll) and can be consumed by C++ clients.
The interfaces are IUnknow only (no dual) and not automation compliant
(there is no typelib available), that means only C++ clients can easily
consume these interfaces. If you are not prepared to write a Managed wrapper
for bidi COM, you will have to handcraft the Interface definitions in C# (3
Interfaces, 12 Methods).

Willy,
Could you give me an idea (maybe a snippit) to get me going in the right
direction? I'm not as experienced as you in these matters and that is
why I asked this question. Any help getting me going in the right
direction is greatly appreciated. I've been down the wrong road with
readprinter (which doesn't work for what I am doing). I just found out
about ibidirequest last week and can find no information on how to use
it at all except these little tiny vague pieces of code that don't
really assist at all.
Thanks,
Trint
