Using c# interface in a c++ project with VS express 1013

Question

I am trying to include ac# interface into a c++ header file which belongs to a clr library. I add the additional directory and as soon as I include the interface and try to build the c++ project, I get loads of errors leading to the cs file, like:

Do I mess up some VS settings?

Answer 1

It is impossible to #include "IImagesToVideoConverter.cs". The C++ compiler cannot understand c# code. You need to put ac# project and a c++ project in the same solution, reference the c# project from the c++ project, and (i think) #using <the.dll>

Answer 2

including a C# source in a C++ compile makes no sense. They are different languages, why would you ever expect this to work?

Perhaps you want to make a COM interface between them, in which case you use a #import directive.
