I have this situation where I need to access the #defines and typedefs 
defined in a C++ header file from a .NET Project (specifically C#). The C++ 
header file is from a medical device manufacturer which my software needs to 
communicate with.

How can I do this?

Please let me know if you need more information.

I would greatly appreciate all responses.

Regards,
Bob

It might be worthwhile to write your code that needs to communicate directly 
with that device in C++/CLI.  Then you can use the header file just like any 
C++ program, but your classes can be used by C#.

C# does not know anything about  #defines and typedefs, but your C++ project
know if it includes the header file. Create a middle layer in C++ and call
it in C#..
