[Mono-dev] COM Interop, or something like it

[Rafael Teixeira]

AFAIK, there's no plans for COM-Interop or some other
bridging/wrapping technology. It's way easier to do things in reverse
(managed app calling native library) if it is possible. Also you can
experiment with remoting using a corba or ice channel but as with
COM-Interop performance will suffer greatly, and lifetime-managment
will bring many-many bugs to the plate, also.
