The official answer of course, is that you can invoke .NET web services using Flex and as a result, Flex “works” with .NET. But Flash remoting and Flex Data Services functionality is missing, though WebORB provides those features. [...] [...] Neil posted a question on his blog about the roadmap for Flex and .NET.

It is an implementation of the functionality you find in FDS, but on the .NET side. So far the product fully implements Remoting and Messaging(clients can use RemoteObject and Producer/Consumer MXML/API); there's a partial implementation of DataManagement as well. We're working on adding our own DataManagement implementation for .net (somewhat different than the FDMS approach). The new data management is based on the ideas borrowed from Rails' ActiveRecord.
