C++ and .NET Framework Multitargeting

Interop 101 - Part 3

In the last part of this little series, we looked into how C# (and .NET languages in general) can call into native code as directly as possible through P/Invoke. While this is a viable technique in many cases, it doesn’t scale to complex interop nicely. Read More...

Debugging Trick

My colleague Kang Su (that's his first name) came by my office yesterday to borrow a book. You might think a story that starts like this couldn't possibly lead to anything interesting. This tale is compelling though so hang tight. So the book in question Read More...

Interop 101 - Part 1

It's funny how often the people within our team (myself included) take certain things for granted. We have provided a great way to bridge the gap between native and managed code with C++/CLI yet I am continually surprised by how little information has Read More...
