Hello Everyone,
I have a class inside a Dll.

Is there any way i can use this class in C#?
I checked for DllImport, i see it can be used to access unmanaged-function, can any one suggest, whether this can be used to access a class inside a C++ dll.
If so, please suggest!

Thanks,
Arun P.

This is possible. As far as I know you have two options.
1. You use a C++/CLI wrapper to access the unmanaged Code
2. You use COM interop functionality as described here:
Using Unmanaged C++ Libraries (DLLs) in .NET Applications[^]
You should also read through this:

and that
