[Mono-list] ActiveX dll with mono on windows

[Bartolomeo Nicolotti]

Hello,

Great! Do you mean that this compiles

gmcs -r:Interop.cwbx.dll MyTest.cs

using Com Interop?

Interop.cwbx.dll is generated by VisualStudio.

Do you think that using this Interop.cwbx.dll is fine or do you suggest
to use a wrapper written in mono?

IBM provides us also another dll that's an assembly, but the classes
used are different, do you think that we can keep our code as is and use
a wrapper to unmanaged code or we should modify our code to use managed
assembly?

Many thanks

best regards
