Hi All,

Q 1. Does GacInstall(string assemblyname) & RegisterAssembly(string assemblyname) been implemented/does the source code exist for the same. ?

ie., project having below binaries for subjecting to registration(Win32 dll's, COM dll's, .NET Dll's/assemblies with COM Interfaces, pure .NET dll's/assemblies.

Q 2. my Application is of Unmanaged C++, I need to embed the above calls does I need to perform any compiler switch settings(because invoking managed calls as above).

ie., how to invoke mixed mode call, from Unmanaged code to managed code though I have enabled the project settings to /CLR Safe

and

..

C++

#using <mscorlib.dll>

//I could not get autocompletion for the below namespaces 

#include "Abc.h"

.......

#using namespace System;

#using namespace System.Enterpriseservices.internal.publish;

{

Publish p = new Publish();

p.GacInstall(string assemblypath);

}


int Somefunc(void)

{

.....

return 0;

}

Details: VS 2010 IDE , Windows 7 O/S.

Solution 1

Q1. They are both Microsoft products so the source code is probably not available unless you buy a developer subscription to MSDN.

Q2. Why are you trying to embed these calls into unmanaged code; your purpose is not clear?

Q2) Since, my project is having references for registration and it is written in Unmanaged C++, and GacInstall(...) and Registerassembly(...) falls in the domain of managed code, hence, I need to invoke these calls from Unmanaged to managed,

Workarounds: 1) Though Compiler Switch settings I had changed the /CLR Safe and /RTC too but still I could not get it working.

I still do not understand what you are trying to do. There is never any need to use these calls in a project that is pure unmanaged C++. If you are creating a C++/CLI project then you need to use managed code calls as described in the documentation.
