Re: [Mono-list] C# COM server in mono?

[Goldstein, Nachum (Jonathan)]

By 'hosting mono' do you mean embedding it in a C/C++ COM server?

As lupus said, I am working in this area right now and cleaning up a patch. However, what I currently have does not support exactly what you are describing. If you run a managed app or host the mono runtime you will be able to expose managed objects to unmanaged code as a COM object.
      However, I currently have no plans of exposing managed objects as COM servers in a standalone manner (i.e. by calling CoCreateInstance). Basically, I consider that a luxury not a requirement since mono can be easily hosted (and it raises a few other questions like which version of mono to use, what library to expose the COM entry points in, registry entries, etc). I do think you could easily host mono and expose your own version of CoCreateInstance to do what you need, if necessary.

Thanks,
Jonathan

The current mono only supports using COM objects, not exposing managed
code as a COM server, AFAIK. Jonathan Chambers is working on what you
need and he should have a patch ready shortly.
