.NET Interoperability Fundamentals

Managed code is great, but sometimes .NET code must call native code, such as Windows API DLLs or COM components; this course will show you how.

Get started

What you'll learn

Managed code is great, but sometimes .NET code must call native code, such as Windows API DLLs or COM components. The course explores most options for interop, from P/Invoke, to COM and even C++/CLI. Best practices are spread throughout the course. A deeper understanding of COM mechanisms provides a better experience and the ability to solve issues should they arise. This course should be helpful for any .NET developer that must introp with native code (and vice versa).
