Best C# Corba / IIOP framework

Question

I am looking to connect to the CBOE, which provides a Corba / IIOP interface. There are many professional libraries for Java/C++, but I cannot find any for C#. What is the best library for corba in C#? (I have looked at IIOP.Net... it's an option, but it hasn't been updated in years, prefer a more maintained or professional library)

Answer 1

Not free - http://www.borland.com/us/products/visibroker/index.html
The preferred route these days is to use Web Services. Looser coupling.

Answer 2

IIOP.NET it is the best I've seen and worked with so far: free, built-in IDL compiler, stable, and best-of-all.....open source.

As a side-note, I feel for you on this one. Like the guy below states, its dead technology and fighting ghosts as I am also doing right now can be a struggle. Good luck!

Answer 3

I use IIOP.NET and it works very well for me. What makes you think it is not professional library. You can at least try it to check does it suits your needs.

Answer 4

I am consistently getting an OverflowException when reading a ulong value in the constructor of Ior, and once that is fixed another such exception in ServiceContext. Any ideas?
