Convert existing ARX project to CPP CLI

[Anonymous]

Hi all,
i have a arx project, which is completely written in C++. Now i need to convert this project to mixed mode C++ CLI. I Changed "Common Language Runtime Support" to "Pure MSIL Common Language Runtime Support (/clr:pure)" in project settings. Then I included the necessary header files in stdafx.h. Then wrapped the DllMain by #pragma managed(push, off). I build the arx it success fully builds. The problem is when i load usng AppLoad it hangs. While debugging, the dwebugger detects Loader Lock. I made some mistakes during convertion. is there any document, that describe how to convert Simple MFC Arx to C++ CLi Mixed mode ARX? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

If you intend to continue using unmanaged code, instead of converting your
entire project to managed, just add your managed code in separate project
files and set only those files as managed.

I don't think you can have mixed managed code in a project that marked as /cli pure, you need to use /clr
To resolve the load lock issue, try using /NOENTRY .. in Linker->advanced->no entry point

One last thing, is that a mixed-mode dll is loaded via NETLOAD, rather than
as a standard ARX dll is loaded (or add MANAGED=1 to the application's
registry key for demand-loading).

Mixed-mode dlls are managed dlls, and must be loaded
as such (using the NETLOAD command, or by adding
MANAGED=1 to the application's registry entry).

Hi All,
Thank you for your responses. Now my Arx works when i put /NoEntry option and loaded via Appload command.
