[Mono-list] How to call a C++ interface class?

[Marcus]

I'm not entirely clear on what you are trying to do. Could you be more 
specific?

Coincidentally, last night I was looking for information about that very 
function, but I was not able to find much at all. In fact, what I found was 
that other people did not understand how to use that method. Also, Mono and 
Portable.NET do not implement that method, so that is not an option, either.
