I have done this before on a different app. We have a .NET object that a client's client or something needed access to, so we wrote a COM wrapper for it.
They were using VB 6, we were using C#, everything fell through at the end so we never were able to test it tho. Go Figure. I have a few days off, and this is the stuff I do with my time off, (Fun guy ain't I) I am going to play around with it. > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark A.
