and in addition, using reflection also create ODBC CTFileRecordSet class
with the proper DoFieldExchange() member functions.
Currently, the way we do this is with a C/C++ header files parser and
converter that creates the interfaces for other languages. I am
wondering if its possible to use MFC/RTTI do automatic this for me for
C/C++.
Another use will be to create marshalling proxies over the wire RPC
communications , like we have for Java using a Cpp2Java converter.
