Content:

This lecture provides an introduction to managed C++ and the mixing of managed and unmanaged C++. Unmanaged (standard) C++ has a deep copy object model. C++\CLI (managed C++) has a shallow reference model virtually identical to C#'s object model.
  1. The Syllabus describes topics to be covered, reading material for you to digest before coming to class, and due dates for the assigned projects.
  2. Project #2, Project #3,
  3. COM/.Net Interoperation:
    Interop with COM
    Demonstrates the use of inproc COM component, ATLDemo7, from a C# client, using both early and late binding.

    COM (client) to .Net
    Demonstrates C++ COM client making calls on an instance of C# class.

  4. C++\CLI - Managed C++:
    functionx tutorial, Code Project tutorial, Marshalling from C++\CLI to native C++ - Part 1, Marshalling from C++\CLI to native C++ - Part 2, voidnish, Visual C++ Developer's Center - MSDN,
    C++/CLI (Managed C++)

    Code Examples - C++/CLI, C++\CLI Syntax Helpers,

  5. Summary of Interop:
    C# and COM interop - C# calls COM - early and late binding, ATLDemo7 - the COM part of previous interop
    C# and COM interop - C++ calls C#
    Forms Interop
    PInvoke
  6. Passing Function Arguments Demo
