Hi Nish,
Not sure whether the link contains what you want, nevertheless thought it would be useful. I think they have a section on Interop.
http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/latebreaking/
Also, you can search for the user samples section in gotdotnet, its got lots of interesting samples.
regards
Kannan

I was looking for an elementary introduction to IJW. I badly wanted to avoid using P/Invoke.

Anyone have the Essential Guide To Managed Extensions For C++ book ? Is it worth ?

You're probably not surprised to know that I have this book also
Seriously, it's a good book and the authors are very knowledgable. However, I personally don't like the APress style of book writing. I much prefer the MS Press tutorial-style book on Managed Extensions. (Visual C++ .NET Step by Step).

According to this
mc++ gotchas
The Visual .Net debugger cannot inspect the values of unmanaged pointers !!
Tell my friends that John Lam from Wintellect is wrong and that we can debug properly unmanaged pointers on a MC++ project , please , pretty please ?

Well.. I have no idea if John Lam is right or wrong. I'm only startig our with MC++ and I hope he is wrong as well

Well,
In the watch window unmanaged pointers don't show, you need to open a memory windows to inspected. At least is how I do it!

Looking at MSDN it appears that all I need to do to create a property is prefix the Property name with get_ or set_ and put the __property keyword before the method (f.e. __property int get_Size() { return m_size; })
But when I do the same with my code, I get this error
C2327: 'ScreenSaverUtils::OptimizedBitmap::Graphics' : member from enclosing class is not a type name, static, or enumerator
Here is my code:
__property Graphics* get_Graphics()
{
if( graphics == NULL )
graphics = Graphics::FromHdc(hdc);
return graphics;
}Now if I just take out the __property keyword it compiles fine
TIA,
James

I will venture to guess from my efforts to reproduce the error that you have an outter class and an inner class, both with the property name Graphics. If you fully qualify the property return type as System::Drawing::Graphics, it should resolve the issue.

Nope, just a single class; and returning the fully qualified name was the first thing I tried 
I did rename the property from get_Graphics to get_Graphicsrrafsd and it works, even though I don't have a member named Graphics, so apparantly it doesn't like me having a property name the same as a class.
What I don't understand is why not? I don't see any mention of this, and the closest thing was that you had to be explicit with types in the case of name clashes.

Well, I don't know what your exact situation is then.
Except in the situation I mentioned, I was not able to reproduce your error. I had no problem having property named Graphics while the System::Drawing namespace was included.

Isn't that the reason?
I think even in C# you can't have a property named same as the class.

Did you tried to change the name after get_ ?
You cannot use a name that resolves to the same name as another member of the class
That's the only thing I can think of!

Thanks, it just doesn't like me naming the Property after another class; because I don't have another member named Graphics, just my private member graphics.
I've converted it from a property to a method because I want it to be clear that the returned graphics should be disposed; but I'm still curious why it didn't work.

Did you solve this yet? I've got properties all over my code without a problem.

Tom,
I think we cannot have properties named after the class.

You can have a property named after a class, just not the name of the class that contains it. This isn't my case, my class is named OptimizedBitmap.
Refer to PaintEventArgs, it has a property named Graphics of type Graphics

No problem

Actually, I copied the property into my code and it compiles fine sans the content. It's the content of the property that's the problem. I don't know if James has solved it or not.
