Question

My friend build an application ( console app) in C++/CLI.

I’m programming in C#.

Ive build for him some DLL in C# which does some calculations based on params that he send.

My function (inside my C# dll) looks like this :

bool LongCalc(dynamic obj)
{
    ...
}

(again , the obj needs to be sent from his c++/cli to my c# dll).

my question :

If he creates an object in his cpp like :

cppObj 
{
    prop1 , prop2 , prop...n
}

would I be able to read his obj in my c# as :

obj.prop1

obj.prop2 .... ?

what should he or me need to do in order for me to work with his obj ?

Answer 1

If he’s using your C# DLL from his C++ application then I’m guessing he’s using managed C++. If that’s the case then it’d make sense for him to define his C++ class as a managed C++ class so that you’ll be able to invoke methods against it.
