Main Presentation: Jeff Muller

As developers, we often encounter legacy applications that we need to support and eventually replace. In this talk, we will discuss how to incrementally rewrite a legacy C++ application by using C# and C++/CLI.

We will create a .NET library written in C# to replace a component from a native C++ application. We will incorporate the .NET library into the C++ application using C++/CLI. We will learn how to create objects from the .NET library in the C++ application, pass data to the .NET objects, and listen to events from the .NET objects.
