title: C++/CLI Mixed Mode DLL Creation
body: <p>I've got a native C++ DLL that I would like to have a C++/CLI wrapper layer for.  From what I understood, if you simple added a C++/CLI class to the project, VS would compile as mixed mode, but I was apparently wrong as VS doesn't seem to be even touching the managed code.</p>
  
  <p>So, given a pre-existing native code-base what <em>exactly</em>, step-by-step, do you need to do to create a mixed mode DLL, so that I can can link into that code from any .NET language?</p>
  
  <p>*I need to do this because my native code uses C++ classes that I cannot P/Invoke into.</p>
