Sherman, I'll vouch for it ... I've written dozens of apps using C++/CLI and OSG and it works great. It is very convenient to be able to mix managed and unmanaged code virtually at will (there are a few restrictions) as the interop is handled transparently by the CLR. Plus with .NET 2.0, it's simple to write an OSG .NET Control in a C++/CLI assembly, and then use it in all your C# UI code. -gw
