The easiest way to create a C# wrapper is by implementing it in C++, and expose the interfaces as a class by using "Managed C++". The void* type is a native type in C++. For safety's sake, C# shouldn't be exposed to C pointers. In fact, the .NET run-time will not allow managed code (i.e. C#) to access data allocated from the C/C++ heap. It is not difficult to marshal raw image data into the GDI+ image representation used by C#.
