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! Ed Hartnett Unidata
