Hi,

We have a system which uses C++ dll. This dll has some functions with pointer references in it. We do not want to make changes to the main system.

Can we just replace C++ dll with a C# dll if both provide the same functionality ?

Please advice.

Thanks

Pr.

This is not easy, but possible. The other way around wound be much easier. You have to export managed method as unmanaged. Many will tell you that this is impossible, but the CLR and IL standards formally allow such things, which is not directly supported by C# programming. Several CodeProject articles put forward the work around approach. For further detail, please see these answers:
