(C++/CLI) wrapper for c# UWP application.

Question

Hi

I have SDK (C++ DLL) to integrate into my UWP app. I have been suggested to create a CLI wrapper and use this dll. I don't have working experience in C++ or CLI project. 

Whatever example I found in search, there is class declaration in C++ header file. However, the dll I am using has methods not wrapped inside any class. What will be approach to create CLI project for this?

Also, I don't have source code of the dll. I have dll and .lib file only. How can I integrate it in CLI project? 

Please suggest.
