Can a C# program communicate with a software that speaks COM?

If so, can I write the translator in C# too?











Thanks!

Can a C# program communicate with a software that speaks COM?
Software written in any normal language can communicate with software written in any other normal language.





Whether a translator is required depends on how the communication is done. In general no "translator" is required. A careful description of the data being passed and careful mapping of the data in each of the senders and receivers suffices.





A translator would be required of the sender and receiver have already been written and can't be modified. However in this situation it would take a better description of situation to discuss it (e.g. communication is via tcp/ip, the sender calls the receiver, or ?).
