Currently this is being done by creating multidimensional safearrays, which has the advantage that marshalling is done for you, but means we end up with rather complex jagged arrays to get our heads around. I have tried to put some structs into S...
Hello, The software company I'm working for builds software for schools, and so our client machines are usually locked down in such a way it makes it pretty impossible for us to install anything on it. Our old system is primarily based on a (very large) MS Access project and so it gets around the access problems by just running from a...

I need to work with a third-party Java library from .NET. Can anyone recommend a more elegant way to do this short of using a local socket connection to a Java wrapper. The information I've come across so far seems a little out-dated, and suggests things like using COM. The library is used to connect to a server. I think some RMI stuf...
