[Insight-users] c++.net and ITK

[Dan Mueller]

Hi Jalal,

The reason using ITK with Windows Forms is not straight forward is because 
the two use different technologies: ITK based on highly templated C++, 
whereas Windows Forms requires managed code (either C# or C++/CLI). 
Melding these two technologies is the issue. Building ITK with SHARED_LIBS 
ON does not automatically resolve this.

If you do not want to create your own C++/CLI project which uses native 
ITK, you may consider using existing managed wrappers of ITK and VTK.
See:

   http://vtkdotnet.sourceforge.net/

Otherwise you could choose to use a GUI toolkit designed for use with C++.

Cheers, Dan
