If you got here looking for the standard way to load DOTNET modules, you might be better off looking here:

The
if (parameters[0].GetType().ToString() == "System.Int32")
below can be compacted to
if (parameters[0] is System.Int32)
as well as
if (parameters[0] is int)
(if you are on a 32bit platform, that is)

To realise functions within Microsoft.NET which can use with every type of parameter as boolean, integer, string or any other type you want to use do the following.
Write your function in .NET :
CSharp Example :
MyFunction (params object[] parameters)
{
if (parameters[0].GetType().ToString() == "System.Int32")
return "Parameter 0 is an Integer";
return "Parameter 0 is no Integer";
}
Within PHP do the following :
$parameter[0] = 12345;
$parameter[1] = "My String";
$parameter[2] = false;
$obj = new COM ("NameSpace.Class");
$value = $obj -> MyFunction($parameter)
print($value);
How to work with params and object you could read within the .NET Documentation.
If you have any further question dont be afraid and write me...
Bye

Now we are working!
Well that means that if you want to use the .NET modules, from PHP, you'll have to build a new php_dotnet.dll file.
The problem with the existing code is the interface versions of the COM object needed to mix unmanaged code with managed code.
To fix this minor issue, replace
#include "mscorlib.h", in the extensions project of the PHP4.2 source, with the following type library binary file import.
#import "mscorlib.tlb" raw_interfaces_only high_property_prefixes("_get","_put","_putref")
The type library file is converted to a type library header file which is then automatically included by Visual Studio, presuming you are using that. :o)
Have fun! (Mail me if this description was too bad, I can mail the new php_dotnet.dll)
By the way the tlbexp.exe SDK tool can generate the .tlb file.
I'll check with the PHP group to verify they are aware of the issue, so it's nicely fixed in a future release of PHP.
Great stuff,
Michael
