Migration from IIOP.NET — Communication between systems

[NIbarra-INI]

Hi, I have a question regarding a migration we are currently undertaking.

We are migrating our .NET Framework 4.8 applications to .NET 10. Since Remoting and IIOP.NET are no longer available in .NET 5+, we are seeking an alternative. Our application server implements the CORBA standard and is built with C++ and TAO.

Would it be possible for this server to communicate with our .NET 10 applications using DotNetOrb? Additionally, are there any specific limitations we should be aware of?

Thank you.

Although I have not personally tested the communication specifically with TAO, in principle it should work.

DotNetOrb supports IIOP communication and interoperability with standard CORBA ORBs, so a TAO-based C++ server should theoretically be able to communicate with a .NET 10 application using DotNetOrb.

However, I would strongly recommend validating the interoperability early with a small proof of concept covering your most critical use cases.
