Hi Bill,
You can compile solutions in Dotnet as COM-compatible.
I am certain you can understand it and find relevant project options.
(Facepalms and forehead typing irrelevant)
For easier *development* I'd look into Rick's Dotnet bridge if using Dotnet dlls often.
Rick prefers slower Exe COM for his Web tools, marshalling cost should be ok in most apps
"Chunky, not Chatty" is mantra for layered code and just view Dotnet as added layer.
