How to use C++ code in C#.net

[linhungsam]

Hi all,

I found an article in MSDN which describe how to do some certain thing, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms919833.aspx but it is in c++. I want to translate or re-use it in c#.net, is there a way to use the function in the document above?

Thanks,

Sam.

Yes, C++ and C# are very similar in syntax and you should be able to easily convert your code from C# to C++.

One thing to note is that not all C# functions have equivalent C++ functions especially since you are using the .NET framework.

If your C#.NET application is a CLI application, then the conversion should be relatively easy. If it is a web app, then things are real complicated.

It sems that function you link to -- RequestPowerNotifications -- is not so easy to deal with from C# as it is Message Queue based. But luckily someone has written a couple of articles explaining how to do it!

Note this is not something I have particularly looked into. But article does get a high core.
