The problem here is when developing C++ plugins, XSI wants a DLL with certain functions exported. When you make your project a CLR application, it creates a ".NET assembly" as opposed to a "normal" (not sure of the nomenclature) DLL. You could look at doing a C# plugin and obviously use System.Xml.
If want to do it in C++, you can make a "mixed mode" DLL (again, I'm not sure what the official term is :)).
You can use "#pragma managed" to mark sections of the code which use .NET assemblies (like System.Xml in your case). You then use "#pragma unmanaged" to mark sections of the code which are "straight" C++ (not managed C++).
Then make sure you've got the /clr setting in your project (I don't use the /clr:oldSynax, just /clr should be good).
Doing that should allow you to write a DLL that will export the proper functions (typically with some macro using __declspec dllexport and in an extern "C" block) and still be able to call .NET assemblies. I've never tried it with XSI, but I have for instance written a DLL callable from JNI (Java stuff) that could access managed .NET assemblies.
I'm curious how this turns out, so keep me updated.

hi, im trying to export my passcontainer to xml but i can't use XmlTextWriter and Reader from System::Xml .But if i use this
#using
<System.Xml.dll> using
namespace System::Xml ;
i have this massage from compilator::
-->Error 1 fatal error C1190: managed targeted code requires a '/clr'
from project properties i have change to this ::
-->Common Language Runtime Support, Old Syntax
(/clr:oldSyntax)
everything is fine to compile but xsi crashes when i upDate my plugin, maybe
something is wrong with the Managed code in xsi .
Anyway if someone has an idea how to use xml class through xsi plugs lets me know thanks in advance
