I have a library file (.lib) which was developed in c++, I need to use this
lib file into .net
Can I convert the lib file into dll or is there any way to use this lib in
..net?

Hi,
It appears that you dont want to convert your .lib file into DLL and then
use DLLImport.Then Its a better plan to write a wrapper (in Managed C++, of
course) for your unmanaged class as the following Link shows with a simple
example:
