Hello,
what I want:
Some informations/indications on writing a c# wrapper class to an unmanaged
c++ program. The c++ program is mainly a file processing application
(command line, input file, parameters, output file)
myself as developer:
I'm c# developer and I've never ever touched to c++ and dll programing with
c++, my development experience is mostly in the web development area and I'm
working with .NET only since few months with c#.
what I've quickly searched for:
c# c++ "dll wrapper" on both google.com and groups.google.com without
finding replies to this general question so I ask it here
what I have:
I've the source code project in c++
Quickly, this project is composed of
· a static main function with the following signature:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
· a static DllMain with following signature
DllMain (
HINSTANCE hInst /* Library instance handle. */ ,
DWORD reason /* Reason this function is being called. */ ,
LPVOID reserved /* Not used. */ )
I think that I will be thankfull to original c++ developer for his
sourcecode and to have make this static function since I want to use a dll
and I don't know how to implement it (like implementing anything else) with
c++.
what I will to learn:
I will first search in the main class to find process/methodcalls so I can
find stuffs that interest me so I can work to expose it in my wrapper, since
I'm almost unable to read heavy c++ code I think starting with a quick look
on the main will help me to find my way. any other recommandation that will
help me to isolate what I need
as soon what objects I want access to, how did I know if all these stuffs
are available in the
compiled dll as a ready to use/call object/method ?
what I please readership/participators that chime here:
Will anyone have allready some experience on a c# wrapper class arround a
c++ dll and can help me to find basic information and kindly
-come up with a simple exemple (as hello world is simple for newbies in a
development language)
-will summarize steps needed (what's is DllMain about and such firstcomming
questions about dll), do/don'ts common habits for writing wrapper
code/classes?
-The c++ sourcecode project is evolving, I need to track further releases to
for updating the wrapper framework, how will I organize my namespace/classes
for developing such stuffs?
Regards and much thanks for your support.
Gauthier
