Microsoft Visual C++ is the most commonly used compiler for compiling and linking SWIG's output on Windows.
The Examples directory has a few Visual C++ project files (.dsp files).
These were produced by Visual C++ 6.
Newer versions of Visual Studio should be able to open and convert these project files.
Newer versions of Visual Studio are able to open and convert these project files.
Each C# example comes with a Visual Studio 2005 solution and associated project files instead of Visual C++ 6 project files.
The project files have been set up to execute SWIG in a custom build rule for the SWIG interface (.i) file.

Most languages require some environment variables to be set <b>before</b> running Visual C++.
Note that Visual C++ must be re-started to pick up any changes in environment variables.

Open up an example .dsp file, Visual C++ will prompt you to upgrade the project and convert

The C# examples do not require any environment variables to be set as a C# project file is included.
Just open up the .sln solution file in Visual Studio .NET 2003 or later, select Release Build, and do a Rebuild All from the Build menu.
Just open up the .sln solution file in Visual Studio 2005 or later, select Release Build, and do a Rebuild Solution from the Build menu.
The accompanying C# and C++ project files are automatically used by the solution file.
