The .NET Binding for the C++ Qpid Messaging Client is an intermediary program designed to make access to C++ Qpid Messaging methods simple and in a way familiar to the programmer. The .NET Binding creates and manipulates actual C++ Qpid Messaging API objects so that a .NET program will operate the same as if the program were written in native C++.

Table 5.1. .NET Binding for the C++ Messaging Client Component Architecture
| Component Name | Component Function |
|---|---|
| QPID Messaging C++ Libraries | The QPID Messaging C++ core run time system |
| Unmanaged C++ Example Source Programs | Ordinary C++ programs that illustrate using qpid/cpp Messaging directly in a native Windows environment. |
| .NET Messaging Binding Library | The .NET Messaging library provides interoprability between managed .NET programs and the unmanaged, native Messaging C++ run time system. .NET programs create a Reference to this library thereby exposing all of the native C++ Messaging functionality to programs written in any .NET language. |
| .NET Messaging Managed Callback Library | An extension of the .NET Messaging Binding Library that provides message callbacks in a managed .NET environment. This component is written purely in C#. |
| Managed C# .NET Example Source Programs | Various C# example programs that illustrate using .NET Messaging Binding in the .NET environment. |
