Is the subj feasible?

More detailed question: I've got a WCF service, which must be accessed
from a remote application written in c++. I thought it would be much
simple, if all the objects in the service would be accessible as COM
objects as well.

Thanks.

Yes, you can write a COM server in C#. You'll need to import the COM
types (see tlbimp.exe) and register your assembly (see regasm.exe). See
".NET COM interop" for more details.

I had the same problem:

Wrote a local .NET COM Server that communicates with the WCF Server by the
common .NET build in features.
C++ apps only communicate with that COM Server by its public interface.

As easy as that.

Thanks for your replies.
I know how to make an inproc (dll) COM server in C#. The problem is
that when I try to apply regasm to an exe, it says that no types were
registered.

Why do you need an application? Is a dll c# COM server not sufficient?

That COM Server is nothing more than a COM wrapper for the WCF server.
