How will this be integrated into dotnet? Will you be able to call dotnet libraries?

We're planning to make a COBOL <=> C# bridge library, which will allow you to call C# methods from COBOL. The idea will be to find a way to expose C# classes and methods using COBOL's existing syntax.
We still need to figure out the how to best approach this, without completely breaking standard compatibility and without introducing mixed C# and COBOL syntax (which would end up looking quite unpleasant in my opinion)
