sending fax in C# using a .NET component not a COM DLL

Question

hi,

I am working on migrating a VB system to.Net. To send fax, the VB application uses a COM component RFCOMAPILib. I want to avoid interops but use some .Net component to do the same, which I could not find anywhere.

                All the components I found, including FaxCOMService of Microsoft are COM components. If anybody is aware whether there is any .Net component for the same.

thnx

Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,

I would like to know are you working on Windows Forms projects?

As far as I know, there isn't a component in .NET support sending fax.

If you do not want to use COM components, I think you may try to use winfax.dll by P/Invoke.

There is also an open source library in CodePlex:
