I'll check out the Oracle offering first ... I really don't want to kludge around with calling C# from C if I can help it.

as it turns out, we finally got csoap to work. I'll give credit for good suggestions, however. <br />

Is there a way to call a C# method from C?<br />
<br />
I have a C program that needs to access a web service (it's located at <a href="http://164.107.119.12/KanseiGateway/" rel="ugc">http://164.107.119.12/KanseiGateway/</a>). It supports SOAP 1.1, SOAP 1.2, HTTP GET, and HTTP POST. I've tried to use CSOAP for this (see <a href="https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/24003867/Accessing-a-webservice-using-C.html" rel="ugc">https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/24003867/Accessing-a-webservice-using-C.html</a>) but so far to no avail. There's very little doc on CSOAP and the Wiki that was supporting it seems to have disappeared.<br />
<br />
I can access the web service successfuly using C#. I have it running under mono on Linux. My current thought is to write a dll in C# to handle the web service interaction and call it from C. Any thoughts on (a) the viability of this approach (b) alternatives and (c) how to do it if it's the way to go.<br />

Call C# method from C

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.

Mono is an open source platform based on the .NET framework to enable the development of Linux and other cross-platform applications. Based on C# and the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) standards, applications can also be developed in VB.NET, Java, Python, F#, Ruby, Eiffel and others, and includes a Microsoft compatible API.
