The HDF5.NET library is far from complete. But if a function you need is not 
there, you can add it and recompile. The existing functions are templates to 
whatever functionality you need to add.

Subject: [Hdf-forum] HDF5DOTNET Dense Attribute Storage

Hello,

Ive created a project using HDF5DOTNET and rely heavily on attributes for 
storing meta data about data sets.  When I load an HDF5 file, I want to read 
all the data set attributes for all the data sets.  Unfortunately this is very 
slow when I have a large number of data sets.

Firstly, I understand that I could re-write my code using datasets in place of 
attributes, but Im trying to avoid that as I like my current H5 file structure.

I want to switch to dense storage of attributes to speed up this process.  
However, Im struggling to understand how to do this, specifically with 
HDF5DOTNET.

HDF5 Questions (not related to HDF5DOTNET):
   1.  I understand that H5Pset_attr_phase_change property can be used with 
creation of H5Files.  Is this the general method for using dense attribute 
storage or is there a more explicit method to use when creating attributes (or 
datasets/groups)?

HDF5DOTNET Questions:
  1.  I could not find any any wrapper functions for H5Pset_attr_phase_change 
in HDF5DOTNET.  Is there an equivalent function or some method for ensure dense 
attribute storage which is currently supported.

Thanks,

- Nick
