[MonoDevelop] communicating a C++ library and C#, completed

[Leonel Florin Selles]

Hi list, in a few day ago I make a question where need it to create a C++
DLL to be used in C#, but monodevelop do not create c++ DLL, it create
*.so, well, I find the solution here

http://www.mono-project.com/Interop_with_Native_Libraries

is the same as using C++ DLL from Windows, but with using .so library.

A point to have in mind is the Marshaling of the managed C# data type to
unmanaged C++ data type.

for that we need to use a intPtr C# pointer and the data type in C# that
we are using to marshaling for example

C#:
string name = "Victor";
intPtr namePtr = Mono.Unix.UnixMarshal.StringToHeap (name);

this is the equivalent for the c# string data type to char [], or char *
in C++.

greetings.
