Managed dll instead of an unmanaged one

[AndrewHoward 0]

Hi,

I have an application which loads & uses an unmanaged dll. All I have to do is drop the dll it in a specific folder.

Can I use a .Net  dll instead ? (I know the .Net dll needs to expose the same functions which are in the unmanaged dll)

Can an unmanaged & managed DLLs  be used interchangeably ?

Thanks

Yes. But you need to use a tool like UnmanagedExports.

Thank you.
Would using a managed C# DLL in unmanaged Delphi app cause any CLR issues ? Thanks

Don't really know what you mean.
