[Gdal-dev] GDAL, .net and C#

[Paul Selormey]

The easiest way is to provide a C# wrapper for the GDAL exposed C interfaces.
I think this should be the recommended way, since no matter how much resources
you have to invest (see the next option below), third party libraries like MrSID, ECW
etc are not likely to be ported to native Java or .NET soon.

If you have enough time and resources, you can invest in MC++. Use the MC++
to compile the GDAL to .NET assembly and add some managed wrapper classes
for the OGRDataSet, OGRLayer etc.

Unfortunately, MC++ is being replaced with C++/CLR, which means you have
to consider carefully whether it is worth investing in MC++ now or waiting for
the C++/CLR release in .NET 2.0.

Best regards,
Paul.

  Hello everybody!

  I am currentl using GDAL and OGR with Visual studio 6.
  I plan to make a new application using the .net environnement, and C#.

  Did anybody work on (or just think about) the Gdal lib port to C#?
  Is there a fast and/or trivial solution to use the most OGR classes (OGRDataSet, OGRLayer, and OGRFeature) under C# ??

  I know it is a huge topic ! 
  If anybody could just give some ideas, to show me the way...
  Thank you in advance!

  Patrick Viroulet
