c++-cli

Here's my problem. I am wrapping a C dll in C#. To do this, I am first writing a C++/CLI wrapper. The native C library is linked to the C++/CLI wrapper. (Linker properties in C++/cli project). Here's how it is all organised now: - The native C .lib: both x86 and 64bit. 1 solution containing 2 projects: C++/CLI wrapper project to which is linked native C .lib C# project referencing C++/CLI project My problem comes from the fact that I need C# to target "Any CPU". But this option is not available in C++/CLI since it compiles directly to native code. My idea to solve this is: - Compile C++/CLI

I am trying to wrap C++ library to that managed projects can use it. The third party library I am using is a shared library. It's meant to link on load time. I have header files, .lib file which is DLL import library and .DLL file. This is what I did so far:- 1. Created CLR project. 2. Added path for header file in C/C++->General->Additional Include Directories 3. Set 'Additional Library Directories' in Linker->General. 4. Added lib name in Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies After I do that, I get LNK2005 linking error followed by LNK1169. The only thing I did after creating the project is

I have a header file that is included by both a native cpp file and a managed cpp file(compiled with /clr). It includes only native types, but I want to specify that the native types are visible outside the assembly (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4dffacbw(VS.80).aspx ). Essentially, I want: public class NativeClass // The public makes this visible outside the assembly. { }; If I include this code from a native cpp, I get the following error: error C3381: 'NativeClass' : assembly access specifiers are only available in code compiled with a /clr option Attempted solution: I'm

I want to asynchronously write data to file using WriteFileEx from winapi , but I have a problem with callback. I'm getting follow error: an argument of type "void (*) (DWORD dwErrorCode, DWORD dwNumberOfBytesTransfered, LPOVERLAPPED lpOverlapped)" is incompatible with parameter of type "LPOVERLAPPED_COMPLETION_ROUTINE" What am I doing wrong? Here is code: // Callback void onWriteComplete( DWORD dwErrorCode, DWORD dwNumberOfBytesTransfered, LPOVERLAPPED lpOverlapped) { return; } BOOL writeToOutputFile(String ^outFileName, List<String ^> ^fileNames) { HANDLE hFile; char DataBuffer[] = "This is

I need to write log data into a single file from different processes. I am using Windows Mutex which needs Common Language Runtime support for it. Mutex^ m = gcnew Mutex( false,"MyMutex" ); m->WaitOne(); //... File Open and Write .. m->ReleaseMutex() Do I really need to change from C++ to C++/CLI for synchronization? It is ok if the atomic is not used. But I need to know whether using this Mutex will slow down the performance compared to local mutex. Adding CLR support to your C++ application just to get the Mutex class is overkill. There are several options available to you to synchronize

I've got a program that calls to EGL in C++. I want to make the same call in C#, but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent concept in C#. I'm getting a read/write access denied error when the execution context enters the C++ EGL code. This is the code in the C++ program that I'm trying to convert to C#: PropertySet^ surfaceCreationProperties = ref new PropertySet(); surfaceCreationProperties->Insert(ref new String(EGLNativeWindowTypeProperty), somethingOtherThanAWindow); mEglSurface = eglCreateWindowSurface(mEglDisplay, config, reinterpret_cast<IInspectable*>(surfaceCreationProperties),
