Interfacing to a .lib library

[Guest]

I know it is possible to interface c# with a dynamically linked library but what about a statically linked library? Is it possible to build an interface to a .lib file? Thanks. -- Bud

Thanks. Any reason I couldn't use unmanaged c++ to wrap the lib and create a dll? I only have vc++ 6.0 available

No. You must use (managed) C++ to build a "wrapper" for the lib and make a
DLL. Then you can use it in C#

Do you need a memory-leak finder

You can use unmanaged C only if you have "normal" functions which you
export via "stdcall" or "cdecl". You cannot import classes in C#.

You can, but you will have to use PInvoke to call the exported function's in
you dll.
