Callback from C# .dll to unmanaged C++
I have a c++ application successfully calling functions in a C# .dll using a COM interface.
How do I setup a callback in the c++ where a function in the C# can call it?

That's a lot easer, since you can just use P/Invoke - see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa288468%28v=VS.71%29.aspx ("Platform Invoke Tutorial"). Right the 1st example should be sufficiant, just specify the function you want to call.

I guess the issue with my situation is that the .dll is c#, and it needs to call functions from the application which is in c++. I don't think i can do a dll import from that application can i?
Hm, not from an executable, but why not putting the callback inside a DLL that this executable loads?

The way our system architecture is done, this isn't allowed. What the ideal case i would think would be is to pass a function pointer to c# so that I can just call that function when the event happens.
Hmm, passing a function pointer to managed code won't work. I guess if you can't use a DLL, you'll also have to use a COM interface for that direction.
