Is there a way to add a managed C++ file to existing unmanaged C++ project? e.g. add clr flag.
Or must I change the project properties and add clr flag to the project?
Note: I am not asking how to call managed code from unmanaged code and vice-versa. I know how to do that.
All I want to do is call the managed code from unmanaged code WITHOUT HAVING TO CREATE A SEPARATE BRIDGING PROJECT. and if possible I would like to keep existing project as it is.
I don't think it matters but here is the version info:
.Net Framework 2.0
Visual Studio 2005
Thanks

>> I think you can flag individual files with the clr flag.
I tried that. and it did not compile because it could not find the definitions for the managed classes I was using there. I think the option to specify the clr flag is to allow managed code in an unmanaged dll as long as it does not reference other managed dlls.
I will experiment with various options over the weekend but I fear I will have to go with Werrock's answer.
Found it.
1. Leave the project as it is.
2. Add the mixed mode cpp & h files.
If you are using the class(es) declared in header file in other unmanaged classes, you can't use managed classes as members. So you need to do something like this.

You have to use the CLR flag and build everything as a managed project but you can still have your unmanged code in it if you surround that code with #pragma unmanaged and #pragma managed.
