Since pretty much every C++ compiler uses a different name-mangling
algorithm, there is no simple way to use C++ classes from C#.
Basically, you will need to write a C++ library that wraps all of the
class' methods in C-exported functions.  Or, you might try using SWIG,
which is able to generate such libraries automatically for the most part
<http://www.swig.org/>.
