It's best to look for .NET components from the third party. If not then COM. If not then you can PInvoke MOST times. 90% of all questions in C# are how to make it interact with unmanaged code because it doesn't do everything it needs to yet. There's LOTS of info on it out there.

Hi If your 3rd party s/w comes as COM then its damn simple. All you need to do is just add references to your DLLs. Else you might look for PInvoke method. HTH irfan
