The DOTNET class

DESCRIPTION
	The DOTNET class allows you to instantiate a class from a .Net assembly and call its methods and access its properties.

       $obj = new DOTNET("assembly", "classname")

METHODS
       DOTNET::DOTNET (string  $assembly_name, string  $class_name, [int  $codepage])

	DOTNET	class constructor. $assembly_name specifies which assembly should be loaded, and $class_name specifices which class in that assem-
       bly to instantiate. You may optionally specify a $codepage to use for unicode string transformations; see the "COM" class for more  details
       on code pages.

	The returned object is an overloaded object, which means that PHP does not see any fixed methods as it does with regular classes; instead,
       any property or method accesses are passed through to COM and from there to DOTNET. In other words, the .Net object is mapped  through  the
       COM interoperability layer provided by the .Net runtime.

	Once you have created a DOTNET object, PHP treats it identically to any other COM object; all the same rules apply.

       Example #1

	      DOTNET example

	      <?php
	       $stack = new DOTNET("mscorlib", "System.Collections.Stack");
	       $stack->Push(".Net");
	       $stack->Push("Hello ");
	       echo $stack->Pop() . $stack->Pop();
	      ?>

       Note

	       You need to install the .Net runtime on your web server to take advantage of this feature.
