Hi,

I have an application which has three layers

1. ASP.Net application (C#)
2. C++ Manged
3. C++ Native

C++ Native has all the intellegnce and algorithm, and C++ Managed is wrapper, so it should be easily work with C# code. My application is working well when we are working on desktop. Now we want to expose C++ Managed code (which is wraper for C++ Native) as web service. It works fine till it goes throuh .Net code, but as soon as native code started executing web service stopped working.

For this problem I already posted a question, here[^].

Now, from the aswers for above questions it is obivous that native code will not work with web service.

Now I am planning for DCOM server to expose my library. I am going on correct path, or do you have some other suggestion?

Please let me know if you need more details.

Happy Programming.

First of all, there is no such thing as "Managed C++" anymore (do you mean "managed"), and in fact, never was: it is called "Managed extensions". If was found to be unsuccessful, superseded with C++/CLI, standardized under ECMA-372.
If you are using "manages extensions", you are wasting your time too badly.
Besides, why COM/DCOM? Actually, both manages extensions and C++/CLI are designed to avoid it very well.
