All-In-One Interop and Fusion Code Samples

All-In-One Interop and Fusion Code Samples 

Introduction

The All-In-One Interop and Fusion code samples demonstrate the typical programming topics about .NET - native interop, COM interop, fusion, .NET Reflection, etc. These topics are either frequently asked in MSDN forums and Microsoft Support, or are requested by many developers via our code sample request function. We want to alleviate the frustration felt by developers when they are interoperating between .NET and native, or loading libraries.

 

Visual Studio 2008 Code Samples

Sample Description Download ReadMe
CppCallNETAssemblyWrapper The code sample demonstrates how a native C++ project can invoke a .NET assembly via a C++/CLI wrapper. The CppCallNETAssemblyWrapper, CppCLINETAssemblyWrapper and CSClassLibrary samples work together to illustrate the interop scenario. Download ReadMe.txt
CppCLINativeDllWrapper The code sample demonstrates using C++/CLI to wrap a native DLL. Your .NET project can reference the C++/CLI wrapper to indirectly call the native DLL Download ReadMe.txt
CppCLINETAssemblyWrapper The code sample demonstrates using C++/CLI to wrap a .NET class library. Your native C++ project can import the C++/CLI wrapper to indirectly call the .NET class library Download ReadMe.txt
CppHostCLR The code sample uses the CLR 2 hosting APIs to host CLR in a native C++ project, load and invoke .NET assemblies Download ReadMe.txt
CppRegFreeCOMClient This sample demonstrates how to create a registration-free COM from the native VC++ based client, so that the client can consume existing COM server as if the COM server is Registration-free Download ReadMe.txt
CSActiveX The code sample demonstrates creating an ActiveX control in VC# Download ReadMe.txt
CSCallNativeDllWrapper The code sample demonstrates how a VC# project can invoke the functions and classes exported by a native DLL via a C++/CLI wrapper. The CSCallNativeDllWrapper, CppCLINativeDllWrapper and CppDynamicLinkLibrary samples work together to illustrate the intero Download ReadMe.txt
CSCOMClient The sample demonstrates the different ways to invoke COM objects from VC# Download ReadMe.txt
CSCOMService The sample demonstrates an out-of-process COM/DCOM service in the form of Windows Service (EXE), which is implemented entirely in Visual C#. Download ReadMe.txt
CSDllCOMServer This VC# code sample focuses on exposing .NET Framework components to COM, which allows us to write a .NET type and consuming that type from unmanaged code with distinct activities for COM developers Download ReadMe.txt
CSExeCOMServer The sample demonstrates an out-of-process COM server in the form of local server (EXE), which is implemented entirely in Visual C#. Download ReadMe.txt
CSLoadLibrary This VC# sample demonstrates dynamically load a native DLL by P/Invoking LoadLibrary, and invoke its exported functions Download ReadMe.txt
CSPInvokeDll This code sample demonstrates P/Invoking a native DLL in a .NET project Download ReadMe.txt
CSRegFreeCOMClient This sample demonstrates how to create a registration-free COM from the aspect of .NET Framework based client, so that the client can consume existing COM server as if the COM server is Registration-free Download ReadMe.txt
CSRegFreeCOMServer The sample demonstrates a .NET Framework-based component which is ready for registration-free activation. Download ReadMe.txt
VBActiveX The code sample demonstrates creating an ActiveX control in VB Download ReadMe.txt
VBCallNativeDllWrapper The code sample demonstrates how a VB project can invoke the functions and classes exported by a native DLL via a C++/CLI wrapper. The CSCallNativeDllWrapper, CppCLINativeDllWrapper and CppDynamicLinkLibrary samples work together to illustrate the interop Download ReadMe.txt
VBCOMClient The sample demonstrates the different ways to invoke COM objects from VB Download ReadMe.txt
VBDllCOMServer This Visual Basic sample focuses on exposing .NET Framework components to COM, which allows us to write a .NET type and consuming that type from unmanaged code with distinct activities for COM developers Download ReadMe.txt
VBExeCOMServer The sample demonstrates an out-of-process COM server in the form of local server (EXE), which is implemented entirely in Visual Basic. Download ReadMe.txt
VBLoadLibrary This VB sample demonstrates dynamically load a native DLL by P/Invoking LoadLibrary, and invoke its exported functions Download ReadMe.txt
VBPInvokeDll This code sample demonstrates P/Invoking a native DLL in a .NET project Download ReadMe.txt
VBRegFreeCOMServer The sample demonstrates a .NET Framework-based component which is ready for registration-free activation. Download ReadMe.txt
