• Visual C++ Interop ifstream and FileStream C++/CLI

  I have a class written in native C++ and I need to wrap it with a managed wrapper so I can reference it in a C# project. My native class takes an ifstream as a method parameter and does a lot of magic with it in its implementation. Instead of converting this whole class to managed C++ , along with a plethra of dependencies, I would like to create a managed C++ / CLI class containing a method with a parameter of FileStream^. Creating and compiling the wrapper class is the easy part but now how do I pass the FileStream instance to the native method Is there some method on the managed code, which would allow me to get a pointer to the file I'd rather not abstract the logic of the ifstream inside of the interop API. Do any of you have any id ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Compiling multiple Workflows into a single assembly

  Hi guys, I know this was already mentioned but the link to the sample doesn't work anymore. I already know about CompilerParameters.GenerateInMemory but I'd like to extend the question a bit more. So here is the question again: How can I compile (in memory) multiple workflows (including code beside files) into a single assembly. Is it also possible to use streams instead of physical files as input for the compile method It would be useful if someone stores everything in a db. Thank you Vijay, your help is very much appreciated. Maybe I give some more background what I intend to do: I develop a designer based on the Designer Rehosting Sample. I want to compile workflows but want to store the ou ...Show All
