There is a separate list to discuss this, but it is mainly focused on Excel interaction. http://mailman.csd.univie.ac.at/mailman/listinfo/rcom-l When you select the full install of R(D)COM, you also get an MFC/C++ sample. C#/.NET works, I use it heavily, and you can generate nice interfaces for R with it. You must reference StatConnectorClntLib, StatconnectorCommonLib, StatConnectorSRVLib, and you get an implicit reference to AxStatConnectorClntLib. No explicitely generated DLL is required with Visual Studio, but don't expect this to work easily when you fear DLL creation. There is a major problem with Data Excecution Prevention and installation of C# procedure calling R(D)COM with Vista which I only could get around by disabling DEP.
