In this we discuss interoperation between .Net code and COM code.

1. Syllabus describes topics to be covered, reading material for you to digest before coming to class, and due dates for the assigned projects.

2. Projects:

   Final Projects, Final Project Presentation Schedule

3. C++\CLI:

   C++\CLI Presentation
   We will see that C++\CLI is a major avenue to interop between Native and Managed and COM code.

   C++\CLI - Basic Examples

   C++\CLI Syntax Examples

   Bridge between C# and Native C++
   C# can call into a C++\CLI dll (it's just IL) which can make calls directly into native C++.

4. Native/.Net Interoperation:

   Native/Managed Interop Presentation, Late Binding Interop Presentation

   CLR - Mark Sapossnek (Boston University)

   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.

   Platform Invoke, Reflection Prototype

   Using Speech Library - COM-based API
