Running Java code in C#

Question

I am writing a silverlight application using c#. For the project I need to be able to compile and download a program to an external drive. I have the code to do this however it is written in Java.

The code is extensive and would take an excessive amount of time to translate all of it into c#. Is there an alternate way to translate the code into c# or is there a way to run java code within a c# project?

You could always compile it as an executable and run it with Process.Start.

You can use IKVM.net to convert the jar to a dll

There's no need to convert the jar file to a dll since C# can simply execute it by calling `java -jar yourJarFile`. – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Jun 19 '12 at 15:15
@HovercraftFUllOfEels um, unless of course the developer of the C# application wants to embed java code without having to rely on the user having java or forcing the user to install it, or the C# developer wants to be able access java types in code, or the Java developer C# types, so on and so forth. Should actually look at the project...... – Oct 21 '14 at 15:51
