Re: Java vs. .NET Face/Off

Cool! Yeah, DLL just means dynamic link library, after all.

I just looked at the IKVM site - Richard, my boss, does all the .Net, so I hear about it - have not had time to actually use it - have done quite a bit of pre-.Net VB development.

So the site said that you can create a DLL from a JAR file - and that DLL is what you can use in .Net. Therefore, you can take jt400.jar and make a DLL from it that is usable in .Net - and since anyone can use ikvmc to do it, seems there is no need to publish it.

P.S. More to play with!
