Hi all,

I am newbie to .NET technology, but through some forum I know that it is possible to call VB .Net call function calls from a managed C++ code. The VB .Net code is some what like this which is in Sample.vb

using System
Public class Test
Public Function getName(ByVal fsName as String) as String
Dim lsReturn as String
lsReturn = "Welcome " & fsName
Return lsReturn
End Function
End class


I need to call getName function form managed C++ code, so please let me know how this can be achived or any sample piece of code.

Would appreciate for the same.

Thanks & Regards

You can do it by following way.

• Right click your managed C++ projects --> Properties -->Common Properties --> Framework & References
• Click on 'Add New Reference' button
• Now from the 'Add Reference' window, select 'Projects' tab if your VB code is a class library in the same solution of your managed C++ project and select the vb project from the list. If your VB code is in a separate library/dll, select 'Browse' tab and browse the VB dll/library.

Now you can use the VB code as follows in your managed c++ code.

// This code considers that your VB code's Test class is in VBClassLibrary namespace

VBClassLibrary::Test^ test = gcnew VBClassLibrary::Test();
test->getName("string argument");
