hi all,

i am trying to make one application. i write all the code in vc++ its working fine..But now i have to make UI for the application..

i dnt have any knowledge about C#, MFC, win32.. thats why i went wid c#,as I thought vc# will be easy to make that.
but now the problem is how to make both projects work in synch. I know its a bad architechture.. n it will be better if either i port all the code in c# or use win32, MFC to create UI...

i am just taking a chance if there is any way.. to make it work.

One more thing i will like to add is i hav to keep passing the values from UI to the c++ files and viceversa.. can dll be used, as i am trying that option???

Solution 2

Two choices: use PInvoke [^] in your C# GUI app to access methods in your C++ dll, or write a managed c++ wrapper[^] around your C++ dll.
PInvoke is probably the simplest approach, the wrapper the most efficient.
