Hello everyone,

I need to develop an IFilter to index and search database tables - like SQLServer for example. I was wondering if I could develop this IFilter using the c# language. I'm asking this because all of the examples I've found have been written in c++ language and I don't have many knowledge in this language.

Thanks a lot,

Although there is nothing prohibiting you from writing a C# IFilter, but because this is a system component, it is not recommended due to the increased memory requirement to load the CLR and my impact the customers Windows OS experience.

Also, for those interested who have stumbled upon this thread, a Delphi IFilter example (IFilter that indexes the "uses" clause of .pas files):
