CHAPTER 8
Unsafe Codeand Interoperability
Few real-world applications are composed strictly of managed code. Instead, they frequently make use of in-house or 3rd party libraries implemented in native code. The .NET Framework offers several mechanisms to interoperate with native code that is implemented in a number of widespread technologies:
- P/Invoke: enables interoperability with DLLs exporting C-style functions.
- COM Interop: enables consumption of COM objects by managed code as well as exposing .NET classes as COM objects to be consumed by native code.
