Subject: [DOTNET] Callbacks from unmanaged code to managed code

Dear list,

It's quite easy to call unmanaged functions from MC++ and it's easy to
hold a reference to a managed type from unmanaged code as well.

But how the heck can I call a managed function (i.e. an instance member
function) from unmanaged code?!

A direct call is treated as an error by the compiler - is it really so
hard to support this? And if that doesn't work, what's the workaround?

I know that this has been asked before, but the answers in the archives
aren't satisfying :-(

Any pointers are highly appreciated
        Axel
