The IDL-to-C# language mapping used by MinCor.NET (its formal OMG specification is still pending) 
is kept similar to OMGs standard IDL-to-Java language mapping, due to the conceptual similarities 
between C# and Java. Both languages support interfaces with multiple inheritances which require 
explicit implementation by classes. A Java or C# class, on the other hand, can only inherit from 
a single base class. It therefore seems obvious to identify CORBA interfaces with C# interfaces. 
As in Java all administrative functions associated with an IDL interface are made available as part 
of an additional generated 'Helper' class. 


The major difference between the Java- and the C#-language mapping is the absence of 'Holder' classes.  
C# allows for in/out-parameters and call-by-reference as compared to Java. Therefore, C# does not need
special containers for parameters passed by reference.


CORBA types are directly mapped to C# types as far as possible. But the language independent concept 
of the .Net framework allows the use of MinCor.NET with any language supporting the .Net Compact Framework. 

	- Requirements
	- Remarks
	- Mapping for Basic Data Types
	- Mapping for Complex Types

	First steps
	- Hello - Getting started

	Language mapping
	- Attribute - Using IDL Attributes
	- ListArrayStruc - Using IDL Sequences, Arrays & Structs
	- UniEnu - Using IDL Unions & Enums
	- Excep - Using CORBA User Exceptions
	
	Common patterns
	- Callback - Using Callbacks between CORBA Applications
	- Factory - Using Dynamic Creation of CORBA Objects
	
	Special features
	- LongMsg - CORBA Performance with Massive Data Amount
	- Persistent - Using Persistent Server IORs

	- Microsoft .Net Compact Framework 1.1
	- Add 'MinCor\bin\MinCorCF.dll' as reference to your .Net projects.

	All the examples are located at 'MinCor\Demo\<NameOfExample>'.

	Every example contains an IDL file at its root directory, and
	two subdirectories containg the code for a client and for a server 
	application.

	For your convenience, there are .Net project files available, too.
