I have finally done an article 3 in my MC++ series at OnDotNet. This one is on Writing Managed Wrappers with Managed C++. Abstract:

The second article focused on the ability to mix managed and unmanaged code in the same module, which is an ability that is unique to Managed C++; no other CLR language possesses this capability. In this installment, I will take this one step further. I will show you how to take existing legacy unmanaged C++ code, and make it usable from any CLR language in the managed world. This is accomplished via managed wrappers, which act as a managed proxy for the unmanaged C++, thus allowing that existing code to be used from C#, VB.NET, or any other .NET language. I don't have to tell you how valuable this ability is to businesses that have lots of existing C++ code that they wish to use from C# or VB.NET.
