Use C# assembly in MFC - help

[SJ]

Hi

I want to retrofit a C# class library assembly into legacy MFC C++
applications. The application projects are VS2005 or VS2003 projects but
are unmanaged MFC C++ apps. I believe one approach is to enable COM
interoperability in the C# assembly and use it as a COM library in the
c++ app. Are there any other possible solutions without requiring
recoding of the c# modules etc or any major rework? Thanks!

You can add a C++/CLI class to a C++ project in VS 2005. Such a class can
directly interact with both managed C# assemblies and link with unmanaged C
and C++ compilation units.
