Updated Using Multiple Vendor's ORBs with Name Services...
About a month ago, I released Using Multiple Vendor's ORBs with Name Services (announced here), which demonstrated how to use CORBA with some C++ and Java ORBs.
In addition to fixing a couple bugs and adding some UML diagrams (created by Poseidon for UML), the main update is to add support for C#. While the .NET architecture is designed towards using SOAP, it is still sometimes important to communicate to existing CORBA installations. While there are a number of ORB's available for C#, my article discusses IIOP.NET.
Other ORBs for C# include Borland's Janeva (which requires the J# compiler), MiddSol's MiddCor.NET (which is commercial), and Remoting.Corba.
Enjoy!
