Question

Is it possible to wrap a templated native C++ class with C++/CLI? For example,

template <class T>
class TemplateTest
{
public:
    TemplateTest(const T& x) { mX = x; }
    ~TemplateTest(void);

    T getValue() { return mX; }
private:

    T mX;
};

The usual way is to hold a pointer to class TemplateTest however with a templated class I would have to know what type T is at compile time. How do people normally manage these kinds of scenarios?

Answer 1

There is no general strategy, other than pre-defining all such template specialisations you care about, and explicitly mapping each CLI generic to a custom wrapper for the template specialisation.
