Call fortran code from C #

Question

A has a lot of code written in FORTRAN 77. I want to start development using C # with this code. What should I do?

• Import FORTRAN files into managed code
• Code conversion

For each of the options, could you tell me how to do this. Are there any performance issues with the first?

Thank.

Answer 1

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/26thfadc.aspx . I would go for option 1. In most cases this will be less work and will give better performance, assuming you are using Fortran to crunch a number.

Answer 2
