[Zlib-devel] Re: Fwd: Using zlib in a .NET program

[Cosmin Truta]

Hi,

Sorry, zlib has no support for COM interfaces, or for .NET. You have
to write a COM wrapper around the zlib API.

You are right, the DLL FAQ doesn't say anything about COM or .NET.
I will keep this in mind when I'll prepare the next FAQ update.

Best regards,
Cosmin
