Language

Language is the next most important limiting factor. Each proxy is written with a specific technology (or language) in mind. Although it is possible to write code to call each proxy from any particular language, it would not be useful to do it that way. The following table lists the proxies and the languages from which each proxy can be accessed:

Proxy Type

Target Application Languages

.NET Proxy

Any .NET Framework aware language. Most commonly, Managed C/C++, C#, and VB.NET.

Java Proxy

Java

Java Proxy (Classic Style)

Java

COM Proxy

Any COM or Automation aware language. Historically, C/C++ and Visual Basic. In theory any .NET Framework aware language could also call a COM object.

C Proxy

C or C++
