Call managed code from your C++ code

Over the decades of writing code, I’ve found that writing managed code (C#, VB) is much more productive than native code (C++). This is especially true due to the capabilities of the .Net framework libraries that can be used easily from managed code. For a given programming task, the number of lines of code is much smaller with managed code, resulting in fewer possibilities of errors. Below is a sample that takes a very raw C++ program and adds the ability to call managed code to it. This yields...(read more)
