using .NET DLL from legacy Win32 app: possible?

Jeema · Dec 3, 2003

HI have a large legacy application written in VC++ 6.0 which cant be recompiled under .NET at this time. This application does run-time linking with various DLLs that the user basically specifies, which are currently also written in VC++ 6.0. My question is: Is it possible to rewrite one of these DLLs in .NET and have it work with the legacy application without first recompiling the entire legacy application in .NET? So far I havent had any luck with this at all, even if the code I write in .NET is completely unmanaged. Any advise would be appreciated...

Thanks,
Ben

Its not really practical, although there is an article at www.elitevb.com about hosting the .NET framework in C++.

However, it should not take all that much work to convert the application to managed C++ 7.0. Then you can use the .NET DLL. Look here: www.codeproject.com/managedcpp/Quake2.asp
