[Mono-list] Interop

[Javier Miguel Gonzalez]

Hello John,

Did you mean that I can call SWIG to create a c++ wrapper for a Mono dll
(managed)?

I was searching swig.org but I only see methods to create managed code to
call c++ (unmanaged)...

Do you know where can I find an example/doc about how to do it?

Regards

Javier Miguel
