A broad question:

To what extent is it possible to have C# code integrate with *unmanaged* C++
code?

Hi Dave,

There are a few options:

P/Invoke, which uses the DllImport attribute to decorate a proxy to a Win32
DLL method.

COM Interop, which lets you communicate with COM objects via proxies.

It Just Works (IJW), where you can wrap the unmanaged C++ code in managed
C++ code and then call the managed C++ wrapper from C#.

I'll second this comment. I have done code from C#, to
managed C++ wrappers, to unmanaged C++ code running on
worker threads, and back. IJW...
