What up.
Has anyone ever managed to create a .Net assembly that is COM-visible and can be used in Visual FoxPro without having to register it, in other words is registration free as a result of shipping a correctly formed manifest file with it?
I'm aware of wwDotNetBridge but I'd rather just create a DLL and manifest and have them usable in VFP without any installer, use of Regasm or wwDotNetBridge.
I have not as of yet. Though the topic does interest me.

Alan, How about compiling your .Net assembly into an .exe and then pass in some command line parameters? This is certainly slow and clunky but you won't need Com-interop.
With WwDotNetBridge, you just need to call CreateObject() and then the LoadAssembly() method.
