UnmanagedExports
A set of compile-time libraries (nothing to deploy) and a build task that enable you to export functions from managed code to native applications. That means, you can create plugins in a managed language like C# or F# for native applications that only have a C-Api (like Notepad++). The nuget package is all you need. Just mark your methods with [DllExport] and build for x86, x64 or ia64. Hints: - You have to set your platform target to either x86, ia64 or x64. AnyCPU assemblies cannot export functions. - The export name defaults to the method name and the calling convention to stdcall. If that's all what you want, you can just use [DllExport] without parameters. - You cannot put your exports in generic types or export generic methods. (The CLR wouldn't know what type parameters to use)
