Calling managed code form an unmanaged program can be done in severl ways. First use COM Interop. There's a ton of articles on that about. Also here on c-sharpcorner.com If the unmanaged language does *not* support COM I recommend you look at my article here: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Code/2003/Aug/ExportManagedCodeasUnmanaged.asp It shows how to use a managed assembly in a non-COM supporting environment. The way to launch an exe file from your C# code is simple. System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo psi = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo( myprogram.exe listofarguments ); System.Diagnostics.Process proc = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start( psi );

Sup Manal!! What are you wanting to do exactaly? The C# compiler has a /unsafe switch used in conjunction with the unsafe keyword for referencing by pointer in managed code with C++ or C. Im not sure if thats exactaly what your looking for or not. Let me know your wanting to do.
