using R in .NET apps

Siddique, Amer 
I am writing a windows XP app which utilizes the .NET framework. my language
is VB.NET. the Visual basic (VB) compiler will translate VB source code into
microsoft intermediate language (MSIL), thus producing native code on XP.

if I have a multi-tier app with a lower layer datastore (IBM Informix using
ODBC) and a middle tier (for logic and computation), I would like to
incorporate R functionality at this stage and send output to the front end
(display charts, etc.).  

Currently, the .NET IDE incorporates the "Crystal Report" engine for such
needs.  I would like to use R in a similar manner. Perhaps I could expose it
as a windows service (using DCOM?), thus allowing me to programmaticaly
access its abilities within the .NET framework.

HTH. Amer
