[Proj] Coordinate transformation assistance

[Bjørn Krangnes]

Frank,
I have been trying what you suggested but no luck. I added the code line
"GDAL.gdal.SetConfigOption("GDAL_DATA", "D:\\gdal-1.4.0\\data");", also
tried Gdal.PushFinderLocation with no luck before calling ImportFromEPSG.
In this directory is all files from the source distribution data
directory. There is no EPSG file in this directory. I did find one EPSG
file in the source distribution for "proj-4.5.0\nad" catalog.
I copied this file to "D:\\gdal-1.4.0\\data" but still no luck. When
stepping though code line "OGR.CoordinateTransformation tra = new
OGR.CoordinateTransformation(inp, outp);" I get an
"AccessViolationException was unhandled" error.
The expected result is Easting:200049.410 Northing: 200049.410

Regards
Bjørn
