Thanks Greg. Starting from your suggestion, I was able to discover the source of the problem and have submitted a ticket to the issue tracker.
A followup question: the reason I am looking to use RDKit in VB.NET is in order to call the 2D alignment function GenerateDepictionMatching2DStructure (perhaps AlignMolToTemplate2D might also work here). However, I'm not certain that either of these functions are exposed through the C# wrapper as I do not see them in the available functions in RDKFuncs.dll. Is there a definitive way to tell what subset of the RDKit is exposed in the RDKit2DotNet C# wrapper? Thank you.
