<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The easiest way is to provide a C# wrapper for the
GDAL exposed C interfaces.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think this should be the recommended way, since
no matter how much resources</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>you have to invest (see the next option below),
third party libraries like MrSID, ECW</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>etc are not likely to be ported to native Java or
.NET soon.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you have enough time and resources, you can
invest in MC++. Use the MC++</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to compile the GDAL to .NET assembly and add some
managed wrapper classes</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>for the OGRDataSet, OGRLayer etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Unfortunately, MC++ is being replaced with C++/CLR,
which means you have</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to consider carefully whether it is worth investing
in MC++ now or waiting for</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the C++/CLR release in .NET 2.0.</FONT></DIV>

C#</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hello everybody!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am currentl using GDAL and OGR with Visual studio 6.</DIV>
<DIV>I plan to make a new application using the .net environnement, and
C#.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Did anybody work on (or just think about) the Gdal lib port to C#?</DIV>
<DIV>Is there a fast and/or trivial solution to use the most OGR classes
(OGRDataSet, OGRLayer, and OGRFeature) under C# ??</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I know it is a huge topic ! </DIV>
<DIV>If anybody could just give some ideas, to show me the way...</DIV>
<DIV>Thank you in advance!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
