    technical question..

    Hi, I do have 2 files written for Turbo C++, one of them is .h and the other is .lib, my question is, how do I use them with C#?

    I really need these files...

    Another question, if I haven't access to the source of these files, so should I forget them, right?

    Thanks

    If they are written with turbo C then I would forget it...that compiler is an old dos compiler and should only be used for legacy tasks...

    Say what the code inside that lib does and maybe someone can offer you a better alternative

    You cannot use the source itself. If you have a chance to compile it into a library like a dll file, you can use this like you would use it from any other C++/VB Programm. If you have the source you can convert it to managed C++ and include it in your C# project. It should work that way.

    If you give a short description of what this code does, we might be able to offer a native .NET alternative.

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.

    Ok, thanks guys.

    I'll make an .dll and use them with C#, that's ok.
    really thanks.

    Managed C++ is C++.NET. It's C++ that uses the .NET Framework and gets compiled to MSIL Code like C#.
