    Curiosity: C# and C++ in one assembly

    Hi all,

    Just from a pure curiosity standpoint, would it be possible to have an
    assembly with both c++ and c#? Google searches seem to hint at a "yes"
    but I'm not so sure.

    thanks,
    HC

      You cannot do it from VS, I'm not 100% sure than you cannot do it from
      the command line. If yes it will not be trivial.

      BTW, I assume you are talking about managed C++ right?

          It should be noted that Jeremy's response is incorrect.

          Assuming managed C++, you can compile one of your projects into a
          netmodule (let's assume the C++ one to start). When compiling the C# code,
          on the command line, you would use the /addmodule switch and reference the
          C++ module, and it will be included in the assembly and its manifest.

              Also note that while they are then part of the same assembly for security
              purposes, I believe they are still separate files (multiple-file assembly).

              There is an ILMerge utility around somewhere that would generate a single
              file, not sure if it is updated to support the latest .NET assembly format.
