When they say the C++ code will be translated to the equivalent c#, that's not how interop works at all... the native C++ DLL is not somehow made magically more vulnerable to reverse engineering because you can p/invoke to it. I don't think the author is talking about interop here, but rather the fact that GUI front-end code written in C++/CLI still ends up being managed rather than compiled to native code. I suppose the author insists on the front-end executable being nothing but a PE x86-64 binary without any runtime/GC embedded in it, pure native code.
