C++/CLI In Action

C++/CLI connects standard C++ applications to the world of .NET. With C++/CLI, a developer can take a C++ program he's been using for years and give it a snazzy new interface using Windows Presentation Foundation. He can make old business applications talk to new ones using Windows Communication Foundation. C++/CLI in Action shows readers how to bridge the gap between their existing C++ code and the .NET platform. Designed for the huge numbers of developers who already know C++, this book starts by teaching the unique aspects of the C++/CLI language. After a quick tour through the basics, readers work through examples integrating standard C++ into .NET-based applications and learn to build programs that mix C++ and .NET code for maximum performance and efficiency.
