How can I convert a user defined object passed by (%) to a native object (&). For example
void managed_func(user_defined_managed_obj% m_obj_)
{
// i need this
obj_ptr->unmanaged_func(&m_obj_);
}
Thus, in the above example I would like to pass the managed object %m_obj_ to the argument of the unmanaged_func. Here user_defined_managed_obj is a .net wrapper in C++/CLI that is a bridge for a native C++.
I've tried the following:
pin_ptr<user_defined_unmanaged_obj> tmp_ptr = &m_obj_;
obj_ptr->unmanaged_func(*tmp_ptr);
Will someone point me into the right direction or let me know what I can do to remedy this problem. Thank you.
Edit:
The user_defined_unmanaged_obj is a native C++ object and the user_defined_managed_obj is the wrapper C++/CLI class for it.
Edit:
The following are the code
In native C++, native_sql.h
#include <string>
class native_sql
{
public:
native_sql(string arguments)
{...some codes}
~native_sql(void) = default;
void connect(void) {...some codes}
void clean(void) {...some codes}
}
In native C++, native_upload_specific_data.h
#include "native_sql.h"
#include <string>
class native_upload_specific_data
{
public:
native_upload_specific_data(string arugments) {...some codes}
~native_upload_specific_data(void)
void upload(native_sql& sql_obj_) {...some codes}
}
In C++/CLI, sql_wrapper.h
#include <msclr\marshal_cppstd.h>
#include "../native_sql.h"
#include "../native_sql.cpp"
using namespace System;
public ref class sql_wrapper
{
public:
sql_wrapper(String^ arguments)
{...codes to convert String^ to std::string and pass args to
new native_sql}
~sql_wrapper(void) { delete sql_ptr; }
void connect_wrapper(void) { sql_ptr->connect(); }
void clean_wrapper(void) { sql_ptr->clean(); }
native_sql* sql_ptr;
}
In C++/CLI wrapper, upload_specific_data_wrapper.h
#include "../native_upload_specific_data.h"
#include "../native_upload_specific_data.cpp"
using namespace System;
public ref class upload_specific_data_wrapper
{
public:
upload_specific_data_wrapper(String^ arguments)
{...convert String^ args into std::strings and pass to
native_upload_specific_data ctor}
~upload_specific_data_wrapper(void) { delete data_ptr; }
void upload(sql_wrapper% sql_obj_)
{
// here is where I have the problem
pin_ptr<native_sql*> ptr = &(sql_obj_.sql_ptr);
data_ptr->upload(ptr);
}
native_upload_specific_data* data_ptr;
}
The error I receive is
C2664: 'void native_upload_specific_data(native_sql&)': cannot convert arugment 1 from cli::pin_ptr<native_sql*> to native_sql&
....Thank you.

I am trying to create managed C++ class by following this tutorial msdn.microsoft.com But while i tried to use namespace System System::String *_msg it always gives me an error that says
An ordinary pointer to a C++/Cli ref class or interface class is not
allowed
Hello.h
using namespace System;
ref class Hello
{
public:
System::String *_msg;
Hello(System::String *Msg);
};
hello.cpp File
#include "Hello.h"
using namespace System;
Hello::Hello(System::String *Msg)
{
Msg = _msg;
Console::WriteLine(Msg);
}
void main() {
Hello ^ h = gcnew Hello("hello world");
}
Instead of unmanaged * pointer use the managed pointer ^ sign:
using namespace System;
ref class Hello
{
public:
System::String ^_msg;
Hello(System::String ^Msg);
};
#include "Hello.h"
using namespace System;
Hello::Hello(System::String ^Msg)
{
Msg = _msg;
Console::WriteLine(Msg);
}
void main() {
Hello ^ h = gcnew Hello("hello world");
}
I've been assigned the task of upgrading an old interop dll into visualstudio2015 with the v140 toolset.
I'm getting an odd access violation now.
Exception thrown at 0x000007fef7d3d95c (mscoreei.dll) in HostApp.exe:
0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xffffffffffffffff
Did anything change in cpp/cli from v110 to v140?
I can tell the error occurs when the methods are defined in a separate cpp instead of inline in the Foo.h. This work-around isn't possible since this is where I need to call managed objects.
Here is my attempt at reconstructing the outline of the code:
shared header IFoo.h
#ifdef DLL_EXPORTS
#define __API__ __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define __API__ __declspec(dllimport)
#endif
class IFoo
{
public:
__API__ static IFoo* Create();
virtual void DoSomething()=0;
};
Foo.h
#include IFoo.h
class Foo : public IFoo
{
public:
Foo() { } // if inline no crash
void DoSomething();
};
Foo.cpp
#include ManagedStuff.h
#include Foo.h
// Foo::Foo() { } // AV if not inline.
void Foo::DoSomething()
{
gcroot<ManagedClass^> stuff = gcnew ManagedClass();
.....
}
FooImpl.cpp
#include Foo.h
IFoo* IFoo::Create()
{
IFoo* f = new Foo(); // CRASH if ctor is NOT inline.
f->DoSomething(); //CRASH
return f;
}
I have a c++ code that needs to be called in c# by a cli wrapper. I am stuck at the operator overloading part.
//this is my code
//Cppclass.h
#ifdef CPP_EXP_EXPORTS
#define CPP_EXP __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define CPP_EXP __declspec(dllimport)
#endif
class CPP_EXP Cppclass;
CPP_EXP Cppclass operator-(Cppclass const &, Cppclass const &);
class CPP_EXP Cppclass
{
public:
friend CPP_EXP Cppclass operator-(Cppclass const &, Cppclass const &);
};
//this is my managed c++ code.
#include "Cppclass.h"
namespace Wrapper
{
public ref class cppwrapclass
{
public:
static cppwrapclass ^ operator-(cppwrapclass%A,cppwrapclass%B)
{
operator-(A.obj,B.obj);
return gcnew cppwrapclass();
}
private:
Cppclass *obj;
};
}
Its showing an intellisense error and not getting compiled.
You write a wrapper like this:
public ref class cppwrapclass
{
public:
cppwrapclass(Cppclass *obj)
: obj(obj)
{
}
~cppwrapclass()
{
this->!cppwrapclass();
}
!cppwrapclass()
{
if (obj)
{
delete obj;
obj = nullptr;
}
}
static cppwrapclass^ operator-(cppwrapclass% A, cppwrapclass% B)
{
return gcnew cppwrapclass(new Cppclass(*A.obj - *B.obj));
}
private:
Cppclass* obj;
};
A.obj is of type Cppclass*, therefore *A.obj is of type Cppclass, and *A.obj - *B.obj is a temporary Cppclass which needs to be moved to the heap in order to be referenced by the wrapper, hence the copy constructor call: new Cppclass(*A.obj - *B.obj).
The rest is the Dispose pattern and finalizer plumbing code.
I’ve a question about creating a C++ CLI Wrapper for a native C++ class to be used in C#.
Here is an example code:
#include "stdafx.h"
#pragma once
using namespace System;
namespace Wrapper {
class NativeClass
{
public:
NativeClass() {}
int Add(int a, int b)
{
return a+b;
}
};
public ref class Wrapper
{
public:
Wrapper() {pNative = new NativeClass();}
int Add(int a, int b)
{
return(pNative->Add(a,b));
}
~Wrapper()
{
delete pNative;
pNative = 0;
}
!Wrapper()
{
this->~Wrapper();
}
//My problem is here.
NativeClass* GetNative()
{
return pNative;
}
private:
NativeClass* pNative;
};
}
This code works fine. I need to retrieve the pointer that refers the native class to use it in the other wrapper classes. However, I don’t want the function “GetNative” to be visible in C# when I’m using this wrapper class. How can I hide it?
If the other wrapper classes are in the same assembly, make the access internal instead of public. – Roger Rowland Apr 25 '13 at 9:47

I try to create a DLL in Embarcadero C++ Builder XE3, and use it in a test-project in the same environment.
I take example on a tutorial which code does not give a good result for me (!) : http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE3/en/Tutorial:_Using_Dynamic_Linked_Libraries_in_C%2B%2BBuilder_Applications
Here is the content of my DLL :
BaseAuth.h file :
#ifndef BaseAuthH
#define BaseAuthH
#include <System.hpp>
class TBaseAuth
{
public:
virtual void TestMessage() = 0;
};
#endif // BaseAuthH
Auth.h file :
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#ifndef AuthH
#define AuthH
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include "BaseAuth.h"
class TAuth : public TBaseAuth
{
public:
TAuth();
~TAuth();
void TestMessage();
};
#endif
Auth.cpp file :
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#pragma hdrstop
#include "Auth.h"
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#pragma package(smart_init)
TAuth::TAuth()
{
}
TAuth::~TAuth()
{
}
void TAuth::TestMessage()
{
MessageBox(0, "Test message", "Test", MB_OK);
}
and File1.cpp :
#pragma hdrstop
#pragma argsused
#include "Auth.h"
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) void* __stdcall GetClassInstance()
{
return static_cast<void*>(new TAuth());
}
extern "C" int _libmain(unsigned long reason)
{
return 1;
}
Now in the test application I have :
the same BaseAuth.h file
a form with a Button :
Test_DLLAuthOrga.h :
#ifndef Test_DLLAuthOrgaH
#define Test_DLLAuthOrgaH
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <System.Classes.hpp>
#include <Vcl.Controls.hpp>
#include <Vcl.StdCtrls.hpp>
#include <Vcl.Forms.hpp>
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include "BaseAuth.h"
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
class TForm1 : public TForm
{
__published: // Composants gérés par l'EDI
TButton *Button2;
void __fastcall Button2Click(TObject *Sender);
private: // Déclarations utilisateur
TBaseAuth *mpAuth;
public: // Déclarations utilisateur
__fastcall TForm1(TComponent* Owner);
};
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
extern PACKAGE TForm1 *Form1;
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#endif
Test_DLLAuthOrga.cpp :
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <vcl.h>
#pragma hdrstop
#include "Test_DLLAuthOrga.h"
#include "BaseAuth.h"
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#pragma package(smart_init)
#pragma resource "*.dfm"
TForm1 *Form1;
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
const wchar_t* library = L"DLLAuthOrga.dll";
extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) void* __stdcall GetClassInstance();
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
__fastcall TForm1::TForm1(TComponent* Owner) : TForm(Owner)
{
HINSTANCE load;
try
{ load = LoadLibrary(library); }
catch(Exception &e)
{ ShowMessage(e.Message); }
if (load)
{
ShowMessage("Library Loaded!");
void *myFunc;
myFunc = (void *)GetProcAddress(load, "GetClassInstance");
mpAuth = (AuthParent*)myFunc;
}
else { ShowMessage("Library not loaded!"); }
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
if (mpAuth == NULL) return;
try { pRes = mpAuth->TestMessage(); }
catch(Exception &e) { ShowMessage(e.Message); return; }
}
The result is :
the pointer mpAuth has an adress.
But its methods have no adress, and when I call a simple method such as "void TestMessage()", it raises an access violation.
=> It first seemed to be a question of string compatibility (but between "C++ Builder XE3" and "C++ Builder XE3" I would expect the same string format to be used ?!) : Error calling DLL with Unicode Delphi
=> I found a similar issue but with C++ DLL into Delphi, not C++ DLL into C++ ... : Call C++ DLL in Delphi app
=> I tried using "HMODULE" instead of "HINSTANCE load;" : same result.
=> I tried without success using
mpAuth = static_cast<AuthParent*>(myFunc);
instead of :
mpAuth = (AuthParent*)myFunc;
=> I also tried replacing "__stdcall" by "__cdecl" or "" (removing) : the libray loads but GetProcAdress returns NULL.
=> What am I doing wrong in attempting to call the DLL's method "TestMessage()" ?
To correctly bind function from dll you should give it full definition, including calling convention, arguments, return type and __dllexport/__dllimport modifier. The easiest way to do it - using typedef so instead of typing (in Test_DLLAuthOrga.cpp)
void *myFunc;
myFunc = (void *)GetProcAddress(load, "GetClassInstance");
use
typedef __declspec(dllimport) void (__stdcall *MyFuncPointerType)(void);
MyFuncPointerType myFunc;
myFunc = (MyFuncPointerType)GetProcAddress(load, "GetClassInstance");
If you are using __cdecl convention you should also add underscore to the target function name
typedef __declspec(dllimport) void (__cdecl *MyFuncPointerType)(void);
MyFuncPointerType myFunc;
myFunc = (MyFuncPointerType)GetProcAddress(load, "_GetClassInstance");
you can also explicitly define AuthParent* as a return type for your factory function to get rid of uneccessary casts to void* and back to AuthParent* (in File1.cpp and Test_DLLAuthOrga.cpp) so, the final code snippet would look like this:
typedef __declspec(dllimport) AuthParent* (__cdecl *MyFuncPointerType)(void);
MyFuncPointerType myFunc;
myFunc = (MyFuncPointerType)GetProcAddress(load, "_GetClassInstance");
mpAuth = myFunc();
