That example uses .NET web services, which I think is overkill for this task, aside from it simply adding an unnecessary layer of complication . Also, it presumes that you would be able to create a .NET assembly to begin with. The user has indicated they have Visual C++. Which version? If it's 6, then it's all unmanaged code, which means that you'd have to go through the hoops of calling unmanaged code from a managed assembly (i.e., a .NET assembly). By the time you do that, you'd be better off simply writing a DLL in the first place. However, if the Visual C++ is of a more recent version, then it's possible it may be easier to do this. I doubt it, though.
