.NET represents a new and improved way of developing software for the Windows platform. The only recipe-style book on the subject, .NET 2.0 Interoperability Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach guides Windows developers who are transitioning from native Windows code to .NET managed code. This book explains new interop features in .NET 2.0 and VS .NET 2005; covers PInvoke, COM, and COM+; features most of its example code in C# and VB .NET, and also includes some managed C++/CLI. .NET tools will allow you to interoperate with existing code. But finding the appropriate tool for the task at hand can sometimes be a frustrating experience. So this book will guide you past myriad infrequently used interop options to focus on those you'll use most often.
