Nick, If you are asking if you can write a CFX tag in a .NET aware language, the answer is ... not easily. To do it you will have to write a wrapper around the CFX API and use the .NET interop classes that enable an assembly to function as a native .dll. VisStudio .NET and the CLR come does have that sort of cabability (to allow an assmbly to work with a legacy windows ap for example, or an exposed COM server or interface), but they are not easy to figure out and use. I'm not even certain that it can be done. But if it COULD be done and someone comes up with such a solution - it would be really cool for a lot of reasons. One of them being you could then write a CFX tag in ANY .NET aware languages.... VB.NET, C#, J#, VC++ (7), COBOL, PYTHON, etc. Of course you have to install the CLR and work through the interop issues. It might be more trouble than its worth.
