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?

If I recall, ColdFusion support for .Net did not include running on the
CLR but support for things like .Net services. Perhaps
interoperability would be a more accurate word to describe
Macromedia's proposed support for .Net.

MM could support .NET with a CFML language module that conforms to MS
CLS - and make it commercially avaialable - right?

This definitely needs to be updated for a comparison with .NET
(particularly ASP.NET). I think the comparisons that are out there
compare CF 4.0 to ASP 2, which is horribly out of date (should compare
CF 5.0 to ASP 3 and
ASP.NET) Of course, I know this may go against the current bandwagon of
saying we will support .NET that everyone and their dog seems to do
nowadays - I think .NET is a solid platform, but I want to see true
alternatives (On a side note - I've heard that MM will support .NET -
how on earth can you be a true J2EE engine but still have support for
the .NET
CLR?)

Sorry if this is a duplicate post, I never saw it hit the list . . .
Jeremy,
I'd like to see a really nice section at the re-built site that
answers
the
CF vs. ASP and who's using CF type questions that we all get asked so
often.
When I get these kinds of questions, or when someone asks me to
explain
why
I think we should go with CF instead of a competing product, I'd like
to
be
able to go right to Macromedia and pull up a few pages with all the
ammunition I need to support my recommendation. It should be front and
center off the main page where I can't miss it. It should be built
using
the
very tools I am recommending and it should showcase what can be done
with those tools.
In addition to the other stuff, I'd also like to see included in these
pages
a list of sites, companies and organizations that are using CF, with
particular emphasis on large organizations (it's interesting how much
credibility CF gains when people hear who's already using it).
I know some of this stuff is already there, or at least it was at the
Allaire site, but it isn't the easiest thing to find and it is
scattered around. I think pulling it together in one place, making it
very visible, and keeping it up to date would pay big dividends.

Hi-
... snipped ...
We're also taking the coming months to re-build the site from
scratch on our next releases of ColdFusion, Flash and Dreamweaver.
We'd love your feedback on features for the site.
Thanks,
