Howdy Max!

As it turns out, I had a port to .NET working a few months ago, then
lost it through some disk problems. However I may have found a copy
again...

In any case, .NET support is something I fully intend to provide,
however I can't get to that until two other tasks are complete, and
they will take some weeks.

The way I ported it was to use the DLL and write VB.NET declare
statements for the functions. Then all the netcdf functions are
available in VB.NET, and can then be packaged into a component or
whatever. You might give it a try as it was pretty easy. 

I'll send you an email when I get some .NET capability up and running
here at netCDF World Headquarters.

Thanks!
