Calling C# Code from C++, But Executeindefaultappdomain() Is Too Limited

Calling C# code from C++, but ExecuteInDefaultAppDomain() is too limited

Compile your C++ code with the /clr flag. With that, you can call into any .NET code with relative ease.

For example:

#include <tchar.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    System::DateTime now = System::DateTime::Now;
    printf("%d:%d:%d\n", now.Hour, now.Minute, now.Second);

    return 0;
}

Does this count as "C++"? Well, it's obviously not Standard C++ ...

C# Code in C++ Project

It means, that with the /clr switch, you can access assemblies (DLL or EXE) written for the .Net framework. Because such assemblies can be created with any .net language (including C#), you can use "code" written in C# from within C++, but it doesn't mean that you would be able to write C# in C++ project. Unfortunately - you can't.

Call C# dll from unmanaged C++ app without COM

You can do this using Reverse P/Invoke - example and discussion here.

Questions about Calling C# function from C++, Reversed P/Invoke on windows phone

OK, I just realize some part of me is wrong,
I just know what is Reverse P/Invoke:

Reverse P/Invoke means:

Start the project in C#,
Create a C# delegate function.
Create a C++ dll.
Call a function in C# -> call a function in C++ -> call the C# delegation function.

This is how the function stack look like:

|-> C# delegate function

|-> C++ dll function

|-> C# main function

Is that correct?
So this is not calling a C# function from C++ ....
What do I do if I want to call a C# function from C++ ....
I mean, I want to start a C++ project, and call a C# function in that C++ project....
