using .h files in C#

[Guest]

Hi
I am writing a windows application in C# and I want to use some header files from a C++ program in my C# code.
How can I do this??

Thanks and Regards

that approach is antiquated.

a .h file is a class definition. you can use a class library for that or
just a plane namespace.

What approach do I need to use to perform the similar action.
How do I incorporate the code in .h to my C# code.
will marshalling help?

You don't need them.

If you are calling a C++ object, and you need a type that is defined in a
header file, you should create a C# wrapper class that provides, as part of
the C# code, an alternate definition for the type.

The C# compiler neither wants to use header files, nor does it need them.
Most of the problem is solved by having .NET look up the definition of the
managed code call, using namespaces, at compile time (and, in a good IDE, at
coding time .

In other words, you can't use the header definitions in the include file in
C#. Code it again.
