Using VC++ code in .NET

[news.oleane.fr]

I have some VC++ tested code (application with real time stuff, thread,
....) that I want to use from C#.NET.
I know I have methods to port the code from VC++ code to .NET but my code
is tested and I do not want to port that to C#.NET.
Then I know that .NET can use the unmanaged code,
I think I have options to make the dll of the code I have and then call the
functions from my .NET code.

But I am confused how can I do that because I could not find a good tutorial
on that.

If someone has some suggestions on how to use my VC++ code in .NET. please
suggest.

Thanks
PF

What you have to do is indeed put your C++ code in a DLL.. To learn more
about P/Invoking into unmanaged code you can take a look at these articles:

and
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/netcfadvinterop.asp.
Also you might wanna take a look at this article:

This is also a *very* distilled FAQ item, but provides quick cut and paste
for those familiar with C:
