Calling a .net function from C++

Question

I want to use this function to zip up a folder from a C++ console application. No examples are given in the article of how to use the function from C++, just C# or VB, and I can't find any other code samples anywhere.

The article doesn't really even clarify whether the function is available in C++. Is this function supported in C++? And if so, how do I call it?

Thanks.

Are you using native C++, or C++/CLI? If you're using the latter, then the documentation on the link you gave has an example for C++... — Mark Ingram, May 01 '14 at 08:53

This doesn't answer your specific question of calling that .NET method you requested, but, if you want to compress some files using native C++, look at using Zlib and there is a contribution app called minizip which you can use for opening / creating zip archives.
