Probably this is not a difficult question, but I am always a little bit confused on how to treat String type as an argument in Visual C++. I have the following to functions: void function_1(String ^str_1) { str_1 = gcnew String("Test"); } void function_2() { String ^str_2 = nullptr; function_1(str_2); } After calling function_1 , str_2 is still equal to null , but what I want to achieve is that str_2 is equal to Test . So, how can I achieve that the content of str_1 is passed to function_2 ? Thanks for any advice. Use a tracking reference : void function_1(String ^%str_1) { str_1 = gcnew

I have a textBox1 in my windows form. I would like to use it to get date from the user. I want to show MonthCalender1 once the user put the cursor in the textbox1 and then set the date in the textbox1 automatically and then the calender will disappear. How can I use C# or C++/CLI to do that? This is not the best code, but I hope you get the idea: public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); monthCalendar1.MaxSelectionCount = 1; } private void textBox1_Enter(object sender, EventArgs e) { monthCalendar1.Visible = true; } private void textBox1_Leave(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (!monthCalendar1

I have a managed C++ assembly I'm loading dynamically in an unmanaged c++ application through a standard LoadLibrary() call. The managed C++ assembly has dependencies on several more managed (C#) assemblies. Everything worked fine until I moved all the managed assemblies to a subdirectory of the unmananged application. To illustrate: Managed C++ .dll (MyCoolDll.dll) Dependent on DotNetDll1.dll Dependent on DotNetDll2.dll Unmanaged C++ app (MyCoolApp.exe) Loads MyCoolDll.dll via LoadLibrary("MyCoolDll.dll") This worked fine, until I moved MyCoolDll.dll, DotNetDll1.dll & DotNetDll2.dll to

How do I call a .NET code from native C++ (unmanaged code)? I want to expose .NET code to my unmanaged (C++) application and then use them. More specifically, I want to call C# from native C++ :). I know there are many ways but can you tell me the pros and cons of each? By the way, I don't want to use COM so what are the options now? Is it possible that I wrap the C# code in C++/CLI and then call it from C++? If so, how do I do that? How do I wrap the C# in C++/CLI and then call it from C++? Robert Giesecke I've written about it just recently. It was about Delphi, but that doesn't mean it won
