That is possible. Of course, this is one of those "what is .NET" questions. Even Microsoft can't give you can answer that isn't confusing. .NET really is many things, though many (including myself) tend to use ".NET" as a noun to describe something discreet. To me, .NET means the CLR, though there's obviously some flaw in that logic. A true .NET "service" will simply be a SOAP method/property, which you can actually use now (and other proprietary services like Passport have COM interfaces). Though I wouldn't mind seeing a tag like this:
<cfdotnet type="method" class="system.something.something" input="#myCFvariable#" output="dotNetResult"> <cfoutput>#dotNetResult#</cfoutput> Hmm.. that got me thinking ... is the CLR available to CFX tags if the framework is installed on the server? Any hard-core CFX developers looked into this? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Benjamin S.
