Hi,
I would be interessted in a quick fix for this. Could you please post a sample
Java file?
Can I write my javascript interface code in the appropriate .net class as it
has to interact with other stuff within my app. So for my understanding, all
we need here is a java type for it?
Many thanks
Maik
