I write a MC++ wrapper for our company internal SDK that wrote in C++ native
code for writing application with this SDK over C# and other .NET languages
and most of my SDK API function return a status code that define as a enum
type.
Do I have other option then duplicate the enum from the c++ to the C# code
and write a MC++ class that look something like this:

public __gc class ManagedDokStatus

{

public:

ManagedDokStatus(DOK_STATUS statusCode):m_statusCode (statusCode ){}

__property int get_Status()

{

return static_cast<int> (m_statusCode);

}

private:

DOK_STATUS m_statusCode;

};

The DOK_STATUS type is the native c++ enum and from the C# code I done
something like this:

Declare the following enum:

enum C#DokStatus

{

// define the same c++ native enum attributes

};

And using the API like this:

return (C#DokStatus)(dok.getSerialNumber (ref serialNumber)).Status;

hi,
I assume you need to redefine the macros in your Managed wrapper.
That's what i'm doing in my project, I would like to get second openion:
for example, in my legacy unmanaged SDK, i have a class :
namespace UnManaged{
class Foo
{
enum MyEnum{ MODE1=0, MODE2 };
...
}
}
the wrapper will be:
class ManagedFoo
{
// Now i have a two ways to redefine
// Method : 1 Native enum - but which is not visible from C#
public:
enum MyEnum{ MODE1=0, MODE2 };
or
enum class MyEnum{ MODE1=0, MODE2}; // CLI enum - which is visible from C#
}

Is there a 3rd way by using typedef to redefine Unmaged enum in managed class?
