com-interop

Hi All,

I am pretty new to managed/unmanaged interoperability and COM concepts.

I received a suggestion of using COM Interop, for using my existing MFC code in C#. But the problem for me is, i have a MFC Dll which is not a valid COM component. How to make this MFC DLLs to have COM-accessible interfaces ready for use in .NET.

I tried to search for any settings to make it COM accessible, but was not able to understand any!!

Any suggestions or ideas are welcome.

Thanks a lot!

In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
