Answer 1

After creating the C++ CLR class library.

You can also consume it using DLLImport

//c# code
[DllImport(@CPPProjectName, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)]
public static extern void SendData(string args);

Invoke the method in normal way

SendData("data123");

Answer 2

Create a C++ CLR Class Library project, and then write a C++/CLI class which wraps the functions in your libs.

From C#, you can then add a reference to your class library, and call the class and its methods directly.
