[Insight-users] [ITK Community] C# Wrapper for ITK

[Bradley Lowekamp]

What information are you looking for in a tutorial? Please be specific to guide the writing of a new wiki page. There has been a lot of interest in using SimpleITK with C# recently so, I think a guided wiki page needs to be written.

Here is some generic getting started info:
http://www.itk.org/Wiki/SimpleITK/GettingStarted

Here is some pretty detailed information with how to load the CSharp binaries into Visual Studio:
http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/community/2013-December/000814.html

Here is a basic example:
http://www.itk.org/SimpleITKDoxygen/html/SimpleGaussian_8cs-example.html

Then there are some crude C# tests:
https://github.com/SimpleITK/SimpleITK/blob/master/Testing/Unit/CSharpImageTest.cs

The C# interface follows closely with the C++ interface. Here is the SimpleITK doxygen:
http://www.itk.org/SimpleITKDoxygen/html/classes.html

Hope that's enough to get you started!
Brad
