<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Are there any language
bindings planed in order to use vtk with c# and .NET? From my understanding
the different language bindings to Tcl, Python & Java are generated
automatically. How is this done?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think it is not very difficult to integrate
vtk with .NET by using Visual C++ 7.0 and managed code ( I
successfully ported the Win32Cone.cxx example to .NET by using a
.NET WinForm for the rendering). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Basically it could be relatively easy to write
managed wrapper classes around the unmanaged vtk code and expose
the framework to .NET. Also I would like to use .NET for GUI
programming because I believe that the .NET GUI framework based on
WinForms is much cleaner than MFC. The only "disadvantage" is that
.NET does nt provide a Document/View framework. However you could
easily build an MVC framework specifically for
vtk/.NET. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Has anyone started working on this? Is there
an interest to start such an initiative?</FONT></DIV>
