It should be noted that Jeremy's response is incorrect.

Assuming managed C++, you can compile one of your projects into a netmodule (let's assume the C++ one to start). When compiling the C# code, on the command line, you would use the /addmodule switch and reference the C++ module, and it will be included in the assembly and its manifest.

Also note that while they are then part of the same assembly for security purposes, I believe they are still separate files (multiple-file assembly).

There is an ILMerge utility around somewhere that would generate a single file, not sure if it is updated to support the latest .NET assembly format.

Hi all,

Just from a pure curiosity standpoint, would it be possible to have an
assembly with both c++ and c#? Google searches seem to hint at a "yes"
but I'm not so sure.

thanks,
HC
