I have some old foxpro apps which act as dde servers, and use this facility to enable automation from other foxpro applications.

I now need to be able to automate these old applications from .Net applications, but have had no luck searching for methods to accomplish this.

In addition, I have tried putting my DDE client code in a foxpro .dll with an olepublic class in it. Although the code does not through up any errors, the DDE auotomation fails to run.
Does anyone know if this method is viable, because I don't want to spend too long persuing this avenue if Foxpro cannot manage this sort of thing.

Thanks in advance
