[Insight-users] Managed ITK problem

Wed Sep 23 14:05:01 EDT 2009

Hi Ali,

Ok, let's start from the beginning.

1. Why exactly do you want to use ITK FEM functionality from .NET? Is
it because you are familiar with .NET and not C++? Or do you have an
existing .NET application you are trying to add FEM functionality? Or
is there some other reason? FYI: unless you have a really really good
reason I recommend using native C++ over C#.

2. Please provide a detailed description of the task you are faced
with. For example: are you trying to use ITK FEM functionality for
deformable registration? Structural analysis? What sort of images are
you working with: CT, MR? Dimensions: 2d, 3d?

By the way: adding __declspec(dllexport) to each FEM class will not
work (at least as far as I know). It is probably easier to wrap the
_functionality_ rather than each individual class.

Please provide the above requested information, and then we can advise
on the best next steps.

Regards, Dan
