CGAL for .Net ( or C#)

Question

Hello,

I am not sure whether there is a .Net version of CGAL? The last time I check there is only one CGAL equivalent in garbage-collected language.

If would be tremendously helpful if we have CGAL.net.

P/S: I know I can use interop, but still, a full managed version would be better.

Answer 1

It is a C++ library. Maybe it could be used through the .NET native code interop mechanisms?

Answer 2

One thing you could theoretically try to do is to compile the C++ code as managed C++.
Not sure if it is practically easily doable though.

Answer 3

Looks like there is no .Net version for CGAL.

Answer 4

Depends on what you you need CGAL for - are you doing spatial operations. If so then you could look at .NETTopologySuite or SharpMap
