Covers new interop features in .NET 2.0 and VS .NET 2005
Covers PInvoke, COM and COM+ (other books don´t cover all 3 areas)
The only recipe-style book on the subject
Written by an actual working developer with first-hand experience
The majority of the example code is shown in C# and VB.NET and also includes some managed C++/CLI

.NET represents a new and improved way of developing software for the Windows platform. Given the chance, you’d probably rewrite all of your existing code in the newer managed code environment that .NET provides. But it is difficult or impossible to throw out all existing legacy code and start over when a new technology arrives. Instead, you need to find a way to move forward with new .NET development while reusing existing pieces of tested, working code. You need a way to interoperate with the existing code until you have a chance to finally rewrite all of it in .NET.
The only recipe-style book on the subject, .NET 2.0 Interoperability Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach guides Windows developers who are transitioning from native Windows code to .NET managed code.
.NET tools will allow you to interoperate with existing code. But finding the appropriate tool for the task at hand can sometimes be a frustrating experience. So this book will guide you past myriad infrequently used interop options to focus on those youll use most often.

I wrote this book as a guide for other Windows developers who are transitioning from native Windows code to .NET managed code. My hope is to guide you past the myriad of infrequently used interop options and focus on those that you will use most often.
