While you technically should be able to do this, Microsoft is trying
very, very hard to steer developers away from using Managed C++,
especially because, afaik, Visual Studio.NET doesn't even support it
anymore.
Perhaps if I am considering Managed C++ wrong, someone could point me
in the right direction because it would be very nice to be able to mix
in the C code I have in my Cocoa program with the C# code in its
Windows port. It would save me much time and energy, and that is always
a good thing. :-)
IIRC, Visual Studio .NET 2003 now allows you to design Windows Forms in
Managed C++. The language itself is ickier than ObjC++, though they are
trying to correct that with a new ECMA binding -- headed by the C++
guru himself, Herb Sutter, so that should be good. I wrote some
wrappers for zlib in Managed C++, so it is manageable (pun intended).
You're correct in that C# doesn't mix well with C or C++, that's why I
suggested Managed C++. And because the MS .NET languages are 99% the
same, you should be able to use the CodeDOM etc. to transliterate
between C# and Managed C++.
