# Cool product of the day: Mathematica.Net

By Roy Osherove July 19, 2003 In [Cool Tools](https://osherove.com/blog/category/cool-tools)

**Historical article** · Originally published July 19, 2003; technical details may be outdated.

[**.Net/Link**](http://www.wolfram.com/solutions/mathlink/netlink/)

_".[NET/Link](http://www.wolfram.com/solutions/mathlink/netlink/) is a toolkit that integrates [Mathematica](http://www.wolfram.com/products/mathematica/index.html) and the_ [_Microsoft .NET Framework_](http://www.microsoft.com/net/)_. It lets you call code written in any .NET-compatible language from Mathematica in a completely transparent way, and it lets you use and control the Mathematica kernel from a .NET program. For Mathematica users, .NET/Link makes all existing and future .NET types an automatic extension to the Mathematica environment. For .NET programmers, .NET/Link turns Mathematica into a scripting shell that lets you experiment with, build, and test .NET types a line at a time. It also makes .NET a powerful environment for writing programs that use the computational services of Mathematica. "_
