Description
Creates a .NET object, that is, a ColdFusion proxy for accessing a class in a local or remote .NET assembly.
Returns
A .NET object, that is, a ColdFusion reference to a local or remote .NET assembly class.
Creates a .NET object, that is, a ColdFusion proxy for accessing a class in a local or remote .NET assembly.

Attribute |
Default |
Description |
---|---|---|
type |
component |
Object type. Must be .NET or dotnet for .NET objects. |
class |
|
Name of the .NET class to represent as an object. |
assembly |
mscorlib.dll which contains the .NET core classes |
For local .NET assemblies, the absolute path or paths to the assembly or assemblies (.exe or .dll files) from which to access the .NET class and its supporting classes. If a class in an assembly requires supporting classes that are in other assemblies, specify those assemblies also. You can, however, omit the supporting assemblies for the following types of supporting classes:
For remote .NET assemblies, specify the absolute path or paths of the local proxy JAR file or files that represent the assemblies.If you omit this parameter, and there is no local .NET installation, the function fails without generating an error. If you omit this parameter, there is a local .NET installation, and the specified class is not in the .NET core classes, ColdFusion generates an error. |
server |
localhost |
Host name or IP address of the server where the .NET-side agent is running. Can be in any of these forms:
|
port |
6086 |
Port number at which the .NET-side agent is listening. |
protocol |
tcp |
Protocol to use for communication between ColdFusion and .NET. Must be one of the following values:
|
secure |
false |
Whether to secure communications with the .NET-side agent. If true, ColdFusion uses SSL to communicate with .NET. |
The CreateObject function and cfobject tag differ only in syntax. For more information on creating ColdFusion .NET objects. For detailed information on using the .NET assemblies in ColdFusion, see Using Microsoft .NET Assemblies in the Developing ColdFusion Applications.
