Integrating C# component

Is there a way to call c# component in Rails application?

The requirement here is I need to call the crystal reports from rails application. It seams it is easy to call the crystal report viewer from .NET. If Iam right we can create the dll in C# to invoke the crystal report, and invoke the dll from the rails application. Iam not sure. Is there any way to call the c# dll file from the rails application?

Thanks.

Crystal reports can be configured to read XML input and format it accordingly. Hence, you can use a rails handler to output your report data in XML format and that should allow crystal reports to read from it.

I don’t know, but you may be able to use ‘iron ruby’ to do this, also.
