Can a DLL call a .NET DLL?

Question

Can a native DLL call a .NET DLL?

Answer 1

No, you need to use managed C ++

Answer 2

Without using COM, you should write a C ++ / CLI wrapper. Your own code, which includes your shell's header file, must be compiled with / clr (common language support for execution).

Just for curiosity, why not use COM interoperability? Check the regasm.exe and tlbexp.exe tools.

Answer 3

You need to do something for the managed world and the uncontrollable world to work together. If you do not want to use COM, you can create wrapper classes in C ++ / CLI.
