You can download the entire wwDotNetBridge WhitePaper with tons of easy-to-follow code examples.

>>Yes that's exactly what wwDotnetBridge does. It bypasses the regular COM Interop invokation mechanism and instead loads the .NET runtime directly into VFP with a proxy object to allow instantiation of any type (not just those that are marked for COM export - which are very few).
>>
>>If you're doing COM Interop with .NET from FoxPro you should have a look at wwDotnetBridge - it brings a ton of additional functionality to the table that is not possible with plain COM Interop greatly expanding the reach of what VFP code can access.
