C++/CLI in Action eBook for free
“... a great resource, an outstanding job, a must-read...”
Look inside
C++/CLI in Action is a practical guide that will help you breathe new life into your legacy C++ programs. The book begins with a concise C++/CLI tutorial. It then quickly moves to the key themes of native/managed code interop and mixed-mode programming. You'll learn to take advantage of GUI frameworks like Windows Forms and WPF while keeping your native C++ business logic. The book also covers methods for accessing C# or VB.NET components and libraries.
about the technology
Developers initially welcomed Microsoft's Managed C++ for .NET, but the twisted syntax made it difficult to use. Its much-improved replacement, C++/CLI, now provides an effective bridge between the native and managed programming worlds. Using this technology, developers can combine existing C++ programs and .NET applications with little or no refactoring. Accessing .NET libraries like Windows Forms, WPF, and WCF from standard C++ is equally easy.
what's inside
- Call C++ libraries from C# or VB.NET
- C++ for WPF and WCF
- Mixed-mode programming techniques
- Move from Managed C++ to C++/CLI
