[Gdal-dev] Re: Problem using EPSG in C#

[Tomas R]

I add to previous posts  a try with FileMon.

I start with calling gdal.PusFinderLocation and gdal.SetConfigOption, I 
verify with gdal.GetConfigOtion that the path is set correct but when I 
try setting up a SpatialReference the path I have set is completely ignored.
A bug in C# implementation or do I miss something vital?

The path found with FileMon is, for example:

GdalTest1.vshos:2028	OPEN	D:\Documents and Settings\Tomas\Mina 
dokument\Visual Studio 
2005\Projects\GdalTest1\GdalTest1\bin\Debug\csv\horiz_cs.csv	PATH NOT 
FOUND	Options: Open  Access: Read
	
(the path should bee C:\Program\FWTools1.2.2\data\)

Perhaps I should skip EPSG completely but it seems to bee such nice and 
simple approach! And I don't like to leave things that don't work, but 
should work, behind me!

Please
help
