VFP reports will run from a VFP COM .exe(with the REPORT FORM in it and PDF stuff) and you can call that from a VFP mtdll which will interop with .NET. Interop with .NET will require a .NET proxy dll to be generated over the VFP mtdll using TLBIMP or VS.NET

And when compiled in inprocess COM server, all classes automatically work in Unattended Server Mode (SYS(2335) returns 0).
