Hi,
I have a C# .Net application which needs to use some feature which can
be only developed in Visual C++ (its extended MAPI).

The C# exe will be supplied to users without a setup.

What kind of exe/dll should I develop in Visual C++ so that I can meet
these requirements

1) No administrator rights are required
2) C# application can use the feature in the VC dll/exe if the dll is
present in the same folder and should run even if its not there.
3) If required the VC exe/dll can be embedded inside the C# exe as a
resource and when required the file can created by extracting the
resource by application itself.

As per my understanding, dynamic link library is the only solution. If
there is any other option please let me know.

Basically, you're right. Making DLL that exports plain C functions
will be the easiest way to achieve your goal. However, there is
another option: registration-free COM components. Such component
satisfies all your requirements while being fully functional COM
component. See here for more info:

A quick google run reveals

Maybe that would be a way to go?

Hi,
Thanks for your post.

It looks great but I can't use it. If I use it I THINK I can't just
supply a single exe file for my application.

Still, I will try to use it and see how it works. :)
