Hello,

I have a VC++ Project that outputs an unmanaged DLL.

I would like to convert this project to a managed C++ Project.
The goal is to mix unmanaged and managed code. Un unmanaged exported
function will need to run managed code. Is it possible ?
TIA.
 
Hello, Olivier!

Yes, it is possible.
To compile with managed code use /clr compiler parameter.

And here's code sample

Ok, this is not necessary with VS2005...
I have now a mixed DLL. But when I load it with LoadLibrary from unmanaged
code I have the following Error:
193 : %1 is not a valid Win32 application.
Ouch !

Thanks for that.
Should I follow the following ? http://support.microsoft.com/?id=814472
I may be wrong but the sample you provider is not what I'm looking for.

Hello, Olivier!

Hmm, strange. Do you have DllMain function in your dll?
Is it called?

This a a visual studio 2003 upgraded MFC DLL.
I've only added a managed C++ class to the project...

Based on the error message: 193 : %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

The problem seems to be your mixed DLL is not a valid Win32 image. Is it
possible that the DLL is built by any 64-bit version's library?

If you just upgrade that MFC DLL to VS2005, is there any problem to load it?

By the way, the KB article you mention does not target on your case, it
discuss the scenario that the original DLL is a pure .NET assembly.

Thanks!

There is no problem to load the DLL, if there is no CLR module module in the
project.
As soon as I add a Managed C++ Class, the DLL does not load anymore.

My fault.
I started from scratch with this project. Now the DLL is successfully
loaded.
My problem now is to call a static managed function from unmanaged code (an
unmanaged exported C style function).

Nothing special to do for calling managed code from unmanaged code.
Thanks for that.
