I downloaded the example, > http://www.geotab.ca/Old/SwigCLRNeilCawse10dec02.zip
I have done a quick test of the generation, using the cvs version of redland.i. http://introspector.sourceforge.net/dotgnu/redland.zip Very impressive for a first start. It looks just like code from XSharp, Here is a method i have been fighting with with the php4 swig : int librdf_serializer_serialize_model(librdf_serializer* serializer, FILE *handle, librdf_uri* base_uri, librdf_model* model); The generated code is this : [DllImport("Redland")] public static extern int librdf_serializer_serialize_model(int jarg1, int jarg2, int jarg3, int jarg4); I dont have time at work to look into this, but it looks like all the type information got killled. I will try it out with pnet at home and report any success, or what I had to change to get this running. If all works out, we can use swig for creating lots of C# wrappers. Thanks for the tips, I will be looking into this in detail. mike --- Neil Cawse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ok > > I think using swig makes sense: > the original code is tested and works > it will be improved and maintained by people working on swig. > > now I don't want to put more work into this if the approach is wrong. > Has > anyone got a better idea??
