Is it possible to bring in a static library (developed in C++) into a C#
project/solution?
Thanks in advance for any information.

Re: Static libraries into C#
Maybe Marshaling can helps you. Look at this:
using System;
using System.Runtime. InteropServices ;
class CSClass
{
[DllImport("mycp p.dll")]
public static extern int myfunction(stri ng c);
public static void Main()
{
...
int n = myfunction("One String");
...
}
}

Re: Static libraries into C#
Thanks. But it is not a Dynamic Library that I have access to. All I have
is a static
libraby (lib) not a dynamic library (DLL).

Re: Static libraries into C#
No, this is not possible. The best solution would be to compile your LIB
file into a DLL and export out the functions that you want to use.

Re: Static libraries into C#
Thanks! I didnt think it would be, but I thought I would check before I
ruled it completely out.

Re: Static libraries into C#
how is that not possible?
u build a dll that calls the functions in the static lib and the compiler
will insert the code from the static lib into the dll and then u can use the
dll.

Re: Static libraries into C#
It's not possible because the code in the static lib is not managed ...
thus it cannot be compiled into a managed assembly. Also, the .NET
framework doesn't have those kinds of linking utilities (without third
party tools), and those are only for linking other managed code
