[Jprogramming] Calling managed .Net code from J

[Alex Rufon]

Hi John,

Please keep us posted. I am interested on this too.

I've called .NET DLL from a VB6 OLE/COM interface but you really had to jump through some hoops like making sure that the .NET class is in the GAC and making the compiler build a COM interface during compile time.

When it worked, I didn't pursue it anymore since it was a one-time project just to fix something until the whole module was replaced with C#.

Thanks.
