My apologies. I meant to post the following to the user group!

I'm sure about the "users" point of view.

But from the "develop" POV... I tried to do this:
- Compile doxygen as static lib (need to do some project configuration
changes here, I guess on most other dependent libs too)
- Create a Managed C++ project library/assembly
- Link that assembly with the static lib (need to do some project
configuration stuff, use "mixed mode" as opposed to pure IL)
- Export functions that you want in that assembly, that calls doxygen functions
- Create another "host" project in C#, references that Managed C++ assembly
- Call that assembly function in this host project

It took some (a lot of) time to get it right. But when it's done, it
feels (kinda') great. "Hey, Doxygen running on .NET" ;-) It doesn't
parse .NET stuff, it just runs on .NET. :-)

Thanks for the response, but not exactly what I'm looking for. Maybe my 
question was not clear (... or you choose to answer it differently, 
which is fine :-) ). I'm looking to *use* Doxygen to create 
documentation for code written in Managed C++ and the upcoming C++/CLI. 
I'm not trying to compile Doxygen to work on the .NET platform, although 
that is cool.

With the exception of your email, no one as responded to my original 
question. So I assume no one as used Doxygen with Managed C++. Thats a 
pity. But I think Doxygen should support the upcoming C++/CLI. There is 
no doubt, it will be used significantly on the Windows platform.

Thanks, anyway.

Allo Jason!

As a suggestion, you may want to try setting the PREDEFINED tag to some =
meaningful standard C++ definition for the Managed C++ keyword in =
combination with the ENABLE_PREPROCESSING, MACRO_EXPANSION and =
EXPAND_ONLY_PREDEF tags.

As an example, PREDIFINED tags were done for the boilerplate macros of =
the Microsoft's ATL and MFC libraries. You can find these definitions in =
the doxygen documentation under the Preprocessing heading.

I think this should get you going without the need for a code filter

Regards,

Christian
