COM proxies and stubs in C#
First, C# is a programming language 'SYNTAX' only!
It is best to post any more OPC related questions in the
.NET newsgroup: microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.interop

NO way.

.NET/C# was not designed/optimized to create (out-of-proc) COM servers,
but using advanced 'Interop' you could create workarounds...

Note, OPC has two levels of interfaces:
- custom
- automation
While writing an OPC automation component could? work,
a custom level server is heavy...
IMHO, the fastest way to create an OPC server
is still using e.g. one of the $$$ C++ toolkits:
