You're missing 50% of the example here

[mr-intj]

This is a great example EXCEPT that it doesn't show the DllImport or StructLayout details from C#, which is the other (necessary) 50% that makes this useful...

@dotnet/docs - I think this is an important issue. The example is only the C++ side of the bridge between C# and C++. The C# side is equally important, and there are non-intuitive things there (like passing returning bool vs. BOOL)
