No. ATL is a template library for C++ only and obviously not usable from C#.
If you really need to author COM servers you should use VC++ with ATL.

Is there anything you could achieve doing this that you couldn't using
C# and EnterpriseServices?

Could be, but that depends on what OP expects from ATL.
Agreed, if he needs to expose some business objects to COM clients, he could
go with C# the FCL and use EnterpriseServices to build a COM server.
But if he needs to build an ActiveX control or an OLE Automation server,
then ES and C# might not be an option.

Ah, of course, thanks. When people say "COM server", I automatically
think MTS/COM+/EnterpriseServices.
