Found a simple way to call .NET managed code from un-managed D code. I didn't know about it so I thought someone else could find it useful.

Thank you so much for this.  This is very helpful indeed.

I guess you might have looked also into going the other way around - calling D code from C#.

Anything one should know beyond the standard pinvoke/C API described here?

That looks pretty good.

It seems to me as if microsoft wants managed to unmanaged calls,as opposed to unmanaged to managed, the link to pinvoke/C is probably more information than the total I gathered for reverse p-invoke (DllExport). If you need more information on any of the processes involved feel free to make it an issue for repo.

I used this[1] code for interfacing between C# and D once. It[2] demonstrates how to use a function callback passed from C# code. C# use winapi calling convention by default which caused me hours of headache untill I figured it out. Fortunately, there is an attribute to specify it.
