Issue/Introduction

Is 64 bit supported for the .NET proxies?

Resolution

The .NET Proxies are compiled in C# and at runtime it is controlled by Microsoft CLR (Common Language Runtime) which is part of the .NET Framework. The Microsoft CLR will decide how it executes code.  If all code in the application and the proxy are 64 bit compatible, then it should run in a 64 bit environment.  The .NET proxies have the ANYCPU option which tells the CLR that it is 32 or 64 bit compatible.  If the application that calls the proxy is 64 bit, then the CLR should run the application and the proxy as 64 bit code.
