 Hi,

     I'm not going to mix in this discussion because I am not experienced
 with these wrapping/porting issues.
     But, some time ago there was a thread on this list about wrapping vtk
in
 .NET and the following site was
     referenced:

              http://herakles.zcu.cz/research/vtk.net/index.php

     Maybe it inspires you!

 Regards,

 Toon.
