[R] R functionality from within C# .NET

[pau carre]

Hello,
Sometimes it is possible to copy-and-paste the R source code into your
project. Some R code is actually C code so you could create a dll or
something like that.
I did it for a Linux C++ project and it was not too dificult. You
should open MY_R_FUNCTION.R file and then you will see how R calls the
C function.
If your project is commercial you should take a look to the licence.
If you do not find the way to integrate your project with R, the best
way I found for communication is by sockets. Do not try to run R each
time you want R to execute something, as it will be very slow.

One way would be via (D)COM, but I would prefer a more "direct" solution: My main concern is to ship all necessary files in one easy-to-install package, so that users do not need to download and install R separately. Any help, advice, or example code would be greatly appreciated (I am using Visual C#).

Alas, as expected, they provide _much_ less functionality than R. So I wonder whether any other people have been successful in using R in their .NET projects, or if anybody has ideas how to best make it work (I'd be open to invest some time, possibly also with other interested folks).
