There is a lot of COBOL code in production around the world. Rewriting that code into another langugage just to change the language makes little sense and introduces a high level of risk. Instead of changing the COBOL code that has been working and doing it's job for quite a while, why not interact with it using C#? This article shows how to utilize C# to call both procedural and object oriented COBOL.

Back in 2002 I wrote a series of articles dealing with COBOL and .NET integration. Since that time, quite a bit has changed. This article reviews the changes and sets the stage for upcoming articles from a world renown COBOL vendor.
