using ice with C# on .Net 1.0

[teayu]

Hi there,

I'm gonna code a C# ICE client on .Net framework 1.0, however, I could only find a C++ library for 1.0, is that managed? Is it possible to use ICE in that scenario?

Thanks~
Tea

Ice for C++ is written in unmanaged C++. But it runs fine on Windows platforms and it doesn't need to be written in managed C++ because it does not use .NET at all.

Is it possible to use ICE in that scenario?

If you want to write a C# client, you need to download Ice for C#. It will interoperate just fine with Ice for Java and Ice for C++. The Ice for C# run time and the C# language mapping require .NET 2.0, however. So, you can do what you want, provide that .NET 2.0 is available on the client side.

Michi.

You mean .NET 1.1, don't you? 2.0 (a.k.a Whidbey) isn't out yet.

Oops, yes, of course -- I meant 1.1. Thanks for pointing that out!

Cheers,
