It might be easier just to have a common file format for the "editor" and the "engine". That way you don't need to interface the two, you just share the files.

Though I guess if your editor needs to use your engine directly, that approach won't work for you.

I need it so I can render things.

@evolutional: Thanks, I was using GCC but I should be able to switch to that with no problem.

Thanks again. I got strings working to & from C#

Alas i have one more question.
It's a little hard to explain so bare with me.


The API i would like to wrap has a topography like this

Replay (the main class)
--Has instance of a Time class
--Has instance of a Action class
--Has instance of a Header
----Has instance of a Player class

or in C++ code something like this

class replay
{
...
replay_time m_time;
replay_actions m_actions;
header m_header;
};

I'd like to very much to mimic this topography for my managed proxy class so i created a managed proxys classes for those aswell that my managed (main class) Replay will have instances of (pheww say that ten times fast).

So it would look something like this



Get it? The Header class takes a replay pointer and just delegates as if it were the native API right?

Ideally in C# code i could then use the API like, how its done in C++



Anyway doing this compiles fine. But when it try and use it in C#, it crashes.

However if i ignore the proxy and write a function inside the the managed Replay class to access that function without trying to use the proxy it works.

i.e


Id rather not do this though. As that one class will have like 100 or so functions if i didn't split it up! And that would just be unwielding.



Any help would be extreamly appreciated

Thanks
