Well, where is the better advice?  Just kidding.  I find this mailing list
to 
be indispensable (I can't imagine using VTK without it!).

I have built VTK from source using Visual Studio 2005 on the Windows XP 
Pro operating system.  I built for release and then debug.  Then I used 
CMake to create a Visual Studio project from the DumpXMLFile example.  
I built DumpXMLFile for release.  It worked.  Then I built DumpXMLFile for 
debug.  When I ran the executable, it produces the exception "Unhandled 
exception at 0x78484f3f in DumpXMLFile.exe: 0xC0000005: Access 
violation reading location 0x99999997."

As is suggested in the previous post, I made sure that VTK_DIR was set 
to the location of your VTK build folder in cmake-gui.  I even attempted 
to modify VTK_DIR so that it pointed directly to the VTK debug folder, 
but I could not generate DumpXMLFile with that setting.

I could probably move past this problem because I do not need to 
determine the data file extension, but I am concerned that I will run into 
this problem somewhere else.  Therefore, I would like to understand 
how to use VTK in debug mode and release mode.

Thanks for your help,
Hamilton Woods
