Component Question - .NET Framework

Richard Steele

Hi
I want to develop a C# component that any developer can integrate into their
application.
Q1. Can i develop in C# and the developer integrate the component in say
"Java" or VB 6?
Q2. If Q1 is "yes", when the application is installed, does .Net framework
have to also be installed?
Q3. Do you have any sites where i can reference some more info on this
subject?

Thanks

You can develop a C# component and expose it via COM or WebServices that way
VB6, Java, Python developers can use your component. for both webservices
and COM interop
you would need the .NET framework on the hosting machine for the former and
the client machine for the later .

Yes you can BUT, and this is a HUGE but, there is an unbelievable
performance hit when transitioning between managed code and unmanaged code.
When I say HUGE, that's exactly what I mean. I've done that and, on a 1.8
gigahertz machine, I can make only about 200 calls a second. All in all, it
depends on what your primary market is - consumers of a COM server or
consumers of a .NET assembly. There are mechanisms that can make the
transition from unmanaged to .NET and others that can go from .NET to
unmanaged.
