managed and native craziness

[Mike Kamzyuk]

Hello. Here's the problem I got.

I have a native c++ dll, say NCD.
I have a mixed c++ dll, say MD. MD depends on NCD. Some functions in
MD return types defined in NCD. Those functions are in __gc classes.
I now want to create a native dll which depends on NCD, and export some
function foo from it.

The problem is that as soon as I try to create an instance of a __gc
class from MD (this is done in foo), I get a FileNotFoundException of
the dll. When those calls are removed, everything works fine. Even
more weird, mscorlib's functions work no problem in foo. The project
compiles and links. What am I missing?

You're probably missing the fact that it all has nothing to do with C++
as a language and everything to do with Microsoft's "extensions" to it.
Please post your Microsoft-specific inquiries to one of 'microsoft.*'
newsgroups. If your ISP doesn't carry them, use 'msnews.microsoft.com'
server, it's free.
