Many thank for your input, point taken.


Quote from clearinghouse:

I've never had any difficulties recompiling native code in C++/CLI, and C++/CLI seems to link in native libraries and automatically generate the wrapper/transition code to get information out of the native libraries properly.

I use C++/CLI quite a bit, mostly because using COM libraries or various broker interfaces and changing from broker to broker on all the various prop front-ends always involves some random new hodge-podge of Windows-related technology. C++/CLI is somewhat of a god-send because it serves as a sort of glue for connecting old/native code with systems that use .NET.

The added benefit is that you can still write solid, re-usable C++, and not feel bound to .NET forever.

I can't comment on Excel-DNA; I've never used it. I was just proposing an alternative if you didn't want to be forced into C#.

thanks for your input - yes I think I'm going to try both and see how it goes. I was playing around with direct dll earlier, but I'm on win64 and it seems there are some data issues around it, don't know if it's the excel version or the os. but will try both. thanks again.


Quote from sma202:

if you have c++ dlls already, making a call via win32 is straightforward and would be the fastest way.

If you want to abstract things in a pretty manner and don't mind learning cli...go with that route.
