    Default C# dll to read in JAva (Biometric finger print )

    My Personal Researches on this topic was ::
    1) Use socket programming (i was able to connect to that ip and port but of no use? how to get data ??)
    2) A lot of forums suggest the JNI or JNA way.. which i tried out and accomplished a connection to the port.
    but the problem was the appoarch i used in JNA which only supports the loading of C/C++ dll files... not C# dll.... the BioMetric Finger Print device is coded in C#
    so Im stuck here...

    How does this question have a connection to Java, other than the word Java in the thread title?

    If the parent source is written in C# and the DLL loaders accept only
    C/C++ - your going to have to re-write the DLL loader application in Java
    because of the difference between the JVM and C#'s MSIL interpreter.

    To be honest, is this all really necessary? If it can work using C++ and C#
    to an extent, is that not enough platform availability?
