The project process is:

C# -->C++/CLI -->C++'s DLL(Exporting some classes)

There is a parameter of Class Type in the DLL.

How to use it in C#

What will be done in C++/CLI

Thank U!

Does it just contain data members, or does it also contain code If just data members, then you can look at www.pinvoke.net for examples on how to marshall structs between C# and C++.

Do you have more information for me

Are there relative functions or Samples

ps:

I don't use [DllImport],

I use C++/CLI doing the Convertion.

But I don't know how to convert a class from managed one to unmanaged one.

So please help me.

Thank you !

A good starting point would be to answer my question. Is this a struct with data members, or a class with methods What are you trying to get between managed and unmanaged code

oh.

Both a struct with data members, and a class with methods will be uesd.

 For example:

there is a function in DLL:

   ReturnData GetData(InputData data)

 {..... }

  the definition of ReturnData is:

 struct ReturnData

{

  char* buf;

  unsigned long length;

 //and so on.

};

 

struct InputData

{

 int left;

 int right;

//and so on.

};

In C++/CLI. the InputData and ReturnData will be recognized,

But C# will not.

 

In addition:

There are some Callbacks in my DLL.

So a class with methods will be uesd.

 

Thank U!

I'm not sure how it's done with callbacks, but with structs, you can just define a struct in C# and make sure it's the same size ( the char * makes this harder, can you move it to the end of your structure ).
