C# mapscript...

[Howard Butler]

John,

Grab the build kit.  All of the dependencies have been built 
already.  All you have to worry about are gdal and mapserver.
<http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/build_output/mapserver-4.8-msvc71-build-kit.zip>

Make sure to edit nmake.opt for GDAL and make a clean GDAL (and then 
do nmake /f makefile.vc install).  Edit nmake.opt for MapServer, make 
clean, and make install for MapServer and you should end up with a 
csharp directory in ..\bin with the C# mapscript binaries.

Catch me on IRC if you have questions.  Then we can write a doc ;)
