Calling Microsoft .NET 1.1 Object Functions from ColdFusion?
Hello Experts!
Currently we are running a Macromedia Coldfusion MX 6.1 Server.
For the next project update we want to integrate additional data which we can retrieve by calling functions of an Objects/Interface in Microsoft .NET 1.1.
Do we have a chance to call them from ColdFusion?
Maybe using <CFOBJECT>? Or somehow Via HTTP/WebService?
We dont have any experience with the .NET Framework.
We also already found out that probably the new BlueDragon Coldfusion Server .NET (from New Atlanta Communications) will have built-in support for calling .NET Objects but this is still a beta version which cannot be purchased yet, and currently we really would like to keep the Macromedia Coldfusion Server...
Thanks in Advance!

sorry but the URL is not working, i get a 404: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/coldfusion/articles/cf_aspnet01.html
thanks @Jerry,
Jerry, we dont want to migrate to microsoft .NET so quickly because no one of us really knows any .NET language,
we are ColdFusion programmers. And its not a complete new project, its just an extension to an existing coldfusion project.
(sorry if the words 'the next project update' misguided you)
we know that we could do it in ASP.NET but we would need to lear the language first ;)
the problem with web services is that we would need a solution BETWEEN our existing ColdFusion Project AND the
MS .NET Interfaces. The reason: We dont write the Interfaces by ourself, in fact we are in a kind of customer relation,
we want to access the data we buy, but we dont get raw data, we just get access to their .NET interfaces, which
is currently our problem, and we want to call them without changing big parts of our exsting infrastructure.

Well that wasnt as much as i expected but it helped me a little bit, though, thanks @all
i think it is possible tho. but that's an educated guess
