[omniORB] How to use omniORB from C#

[Meding, Olaf]

C# code can call (unmanaged C++) code. Correct me if I am wrong, but my
understanding is that this is done by turning the C++ code into some
kind of DLL?

So I wonder how much work it would be to turn omniORB into a DLL in such
a way that it can be called by C# code.

Our environment is MS Windows XP and VS .NET 2.0 (Visual Studio 2005,
VC8).

Many thanks for your help.

P.S. Yes, I know that there is also IIOP.NET.

I imagine it would be a huge amount of work. Not only would you have to
expose all the public API of omniORB, but you'd also need to expose
everything generated by omniidl.

I would imagine that's a far more sensible way of doing CORBA work from
C#.
