Hi,
is there a simple way to get a list of mac-addresses on Windows PC (either 32bit or 64bit)?

Hello


is there a simple way to get a list of mac-addresses on Windows PC (either 32bit or 64bit)?

you can use the application #EsIpHelper and class #IpAdapterInfo, which implements #Address to get the MAC address of an adapter.

Hi Norbert,
 
  can`t find EsIpHelper in v9.2. Do I need to load some additional feature?

Please contact Instantiations [vast-support(at)instantiations.com] regarding EsIpHelper.
Instantiations developed this wrapper for our needs.

OK, thanks

And one more question: does VA Smalltalk allows to make a call to a managed dll (i.e. .NET dll)?

Hello,

Not out of the box, but the capability is there via FFI to call out to managed runtimes like python, ruby, .Net and so on.
This requires one to be comfortable with C and vm interface programming for VAST and whatever the target runtime is.

Its generally an advanced topic, but depending on what you are trying to do, its LOE is variable.  For example, if you just
want to run a method on the CLR and answer a basic result, then this is pretty simple.
On the other hand, if you want whole infrastructure for keeping Smalltalk proxies in sync with .Net objects by carefully managing
the references and having transparent object remoting...then that is a different LOE.
