Chapter 7. Interoperability

The .NET Framework provides support for managed code to interoperate with unmanaged code. The unmanaged code could either be COM-based or be in native DLLs. The .NET Framework has been designed to provide smooth interoperability. In this chapter, we examine the support for interoperability provided by the .NET Framework. By the end of the chapter, readers will be comfortable making calls from managed code into unmanaged code and vice versa.
