Can anybody help me with getting managed code to talk to unmanaged code? I'm okay coding via clr, but I don't have a clue what I'm doing when I try using the GUI interface. I'm using MS Visual C++ 2005 and I'm totally lost VB is much easier. I could send what I have and what I'm trying to do if someone can help, otherwise, thanks anyway. After spending 3 vacation days on this, I figure I've got nothing to loose by asking for help. Yes, it is homework, but yes I'm about to give up.

Jump to Postc++.net was a mistake... Stick with c# or vb.net.
Jump to PostIn that case you might want to post your code here, although you are unlikely to find much help since this is predominantly a c++ forum.
In my opinion, the syntax of c++.net is an insult to Bjarne Stroustrup's original idea, and looks just as dirty as MFC. :)

Agreed, but I have no choice. The instructor is making us do this.

Here's the generated cpp code, that I've been told not to touch.
// MyTree.cpp : main project file.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "Form1.h"
using namespace MyTree;
[STAThreadAttribute]
int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
// Enabling Windows XP visual effects before any controls are created
Application::EnableVisualStyles();
Application::SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
// Create the main window and run it
Application::Run(gcnew Form1());
return 0;
}This is also generated form1.h code, with the exception of the code between the first "public" and the first "private" (which I'm pretty sure I did wrong) and the private: System::Void SubmitBtn_Click code ...that's where it all goes bad...of course that's where I don't know what I'm doing.

}This is the code I used to generate a tree. The assignment was to use the gui to add to, search and clear the tree; simplistically anyway.

> getting managed code to talk to unmanaged code?
the easy way is to just mix the managed and unmanaged code as required.
this is called IJW ( "it just works" ). using p-invoke is only slightly harder.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iterator>
using namespace System;
using namespace std ;
#pragma unmanaged
void sort_and_print( int* p, size_t N )
{
std::sort( p, p+N ) ;
std::copy( p, p+N, ostream_iterator<int>(cout,"\n") ) ;
}
#pragma managed
int main( array<System::String ^> ^args )
{
enum { SIZE = 100 };
array<int>^ a = gcnew array<int>(SIZE);
System::Random^ rg = gcnew System::Random() ;
for( int i=0 ; i<SIZE; ++i ) a[i] = rg->Next( 500, 1000 ) ;
// pin the array (don't let the gc move it around).
pin_ptr<int> pinned_address = &( a[0] ) ;
int* cpp_pointer = pinned_address ;
sort_and_print( cpp_pointer, SIZE ) ;
}
