Connect to Native .Net libraries though the Adobe AIR platform
One advantage C# has over Java is the ability to reach deep within the host Window OS and access processes and functionality. Our best information indicates the AIR platform by Adobe will not ship with any such tight integration capabilities.
Mike Chambers just released proof of concept code showing how to access and integrate with the host OS. Right now, the code supports launching and receiving output from processes. Screenshots are also supported.
The code is written in such as way as to promote extension. If nothing else, you can study this code for a better understanding of how to write similar functionality.
The project is at code.google.com under CommandProxy.
