[vtkusers] VTK 6.0 with Visual Studio

[Bill Lorensen]

1) Can you provide a small, compilable example that fails?
2) You could try some of the VTK Wiki Examples.
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples
3) Find one that uses a class that is failing.
    for example, in google search:

When I began the port to 6.0, I followed the migration guide found here: http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/VTK_6_Migration_Guide and the code builds and links just fine.  However, when I run it, I'm getting access violation exceptions (attempts to read/write protected memory) when I try instantiating with New().  Researching further, I see that this problem is mentioned here: http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/VTK_6_Migration/Factories_now_require_defines  HOWEVER I'm not getting NULL objects with the New() call, I'm getting exceptions.
