Hi Dan,
Thanks for all your work. If you would put up your version of the libraries on dropbox it would be appreciated. That will get me moving while I start looking at what it would take to move to VS 2010 for all of our projects.

Hi Scott,
I have worked out how to build SimpleITK C# binaries with VS10 which target the .NET 2.0 runtime i.e. can be used with VS9.
The procedure is as follows:
1. Setup the SimpleITK build as normal with VS10.
2. During the SimpleITK CMake configure stage, select the advanced mode.
3. After the first round of configuration, find the CSHARP_DOTNET_VERSION variable.
4. Set CSHARP_DOTNET_VERSION = v2.0.50727 5. Re-configure and generate.
6. Build the generated solution.
During the configuration stage you should see the following output (notice the framework version number):
Found the following C# .NET versions: v4.0.30319, v3.5, v2.0.50727, v1.1.4322 Using .NET compiler version v2.0.50727 Adding C# library SimpleITKCSharpManaged:
'C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v2.0.50727/csc.exe /t:library /out:SimpleITKCSharpManaged.dll /platform:anycpu /reference:System.dll C:\ITK\SimpleITK-0.4.0\Build\Wrapping\CSharpSources\*.cs'
I have built .NET 2.0 binaries on my machine using VS10 and have verified they work in a VS9 C# solution. If you want I can forward these (via dropbox) but be warned: I didn't use the same compiler settings as the build server so the binaries are quite large (release
x64 anycpu = 50 MB). I will try to make a patch sometime so that the next release of SimpleITK C# wrappers target .NET 2.0.
In short: if you can get your hands on VS10 (perhaps using the Express
version?) you can use the above procedure to build your own assemblies targeting .NET 2.0.
HTH
Cheers, Dan
