Certainly not a homework question

I'm not developing this specifically in Visual Studio though, I was just compiling with cl and csc. Which is why I was wondering if someone could explain how to explicitly link the two.

I suppose I just had something wrong in the C++/CLI file.

My simple test programs compile and run just fine now that I'm using /clr:safe instead of just /clr. Now all I need to do is write a handful of wrapper functions around my old library

    public ref class Form1 : public System::Windows::Forms::Form
    {
        unsigned char *pBitmapBits;
        Bitmap ^testBitmap;

    public:
        Form1(void)
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            // Make a 120x120 24bpp bitmap - initialize pixels to all red
            pBitmapBits = new unsigned char[120 * 120 * 3];
            for (int x = 0; x < (120*120*3); x += 3)
            {
                pBitmapBits[x+0] = 0;
                pBitmapBits[x+1] = 0;
                pBitmapBits[x+2] = 255;
            }
            testBitmap = gcnew Bitmap(120, 120, 120*3, PixelFormat::Format24bppRgb, IntPtr(pBitmapBits));
        }

...

    private: System::Void testButton_Click(System::Object^  sender, System::EventArgs^  e) 
             {
                 // Put a purple stripe across the bitmap
                for (int x = 120*3*40; x < (120*3*80); x += 3)
                {
                    pBitmapBits[x+0] = 255;
