[RESOLVED] Call managed function from unmanaged function?

I am trying

Code:

---

#pragma managed

String * GetWebsiteData(char * url)
{
        HttpWebRequest * req = (HttpWebRequest*)HttpWebRequest::Create(url);
        HttpWebResponse * resp = (HttpWebResponse*)req->GetResponse();
        StreamReader * sr = new StreamReader(resp->GetResponseStream());
        String * ret = sr->ReadToEnd();
        return ret;
}

#pragma unmanaged
void UnmanagedFunc()
{
        std::string str = GetWebsiteData("A");
}

How do you pass/return a string?

Okay I resolved this, found tons of examples of passing/returning ints but not much on strings. (strings are the only problem class)

Code:

---

std::string MStr2UStr(String ^ str)
{
        IntPtr ptr = Marshal::StringToHGlobalAnsi(str);
        if (ptr != IntPtr::Zero)
        {
                std::string ret(reinterpret_cast<char*>(static_cast<void*>(ptr)));
                Marshal::FreeHGlobal(ptr);
                return ret;
        }
        return std::string();
}
std::string GetWebsiteData(std::string Surl)
{
        try
        {
                String ^ url = gcnew String(Surl.c_str());
                HttpWebRequest ^ req = (HttpWebRequest^)HttpWebRequest::Create(url);
                HttpWebResponse ^ resp = (HttpWebResponse^)req->GetResponse();
                StreamReader ^ sr = gcnew StreamReader(resp->GetResponseStream());
                String ^ ret = sr->ReadToEnd();
                return MStr2UStr(ret);
        }
        catch (Exception ^ ex)
        {
                return std::string();
        }
}

Usage:

Code:

---

std::string Site = "http://mysite.com";
std::string str = GetWebsiteData(Site);

I was a bit confused at first, but managed/unmanaged is cool. I can now use low level hooks with high level libraries.
