Run a Blazar Server App From a Cpp App with hostfxr

[LSE Crew]

hi,

Let me explain my context to you:

I am currently on a C++ application in which I have an Edge Webview2 component which will allow me to display a beautiful Syncfusion Blazor page.

I want my C++ application to automatically launch the .net server (8.0) and therefore be able to directly display my Blazor pages in Webview2.

My .net server would therefore be integrated into my C++ application and this would be completely transparent for the user

Have you ever done this?

For example using the hostfxr.dll library? I don't just want a run with the dotnet command but to be able to send arguments for example.

thx

Hi Castandet,

Greetings from Syncfusion Support!

We have reviewed your query and noticed that it is not directly related to Syncfusion libraries but rather a general question about integrating the .NET runtime into a C++ application. However, we have validated your requirement and gathered some relevant details to assist you.

You can use the hostfxr.dll library, as documented on MSDN, to programmatically launch a .NET application from a C++ application. This approach eliminates the need to manually run the dotnet command and enables the .NET server to start in the background.
