15 SWIG and C#

The C# module has only recently been added to SWIG and is still in a state of development. The C# module is very similar to the Java module, so until some documentation has been written, please use the Java documentation as a guide to using SWIG with C#.

The most noteable differences to Java are the following:

When invoking SWIG use the -csharp command line option instead of -java.

Typemap equivalent names:

jni                         -> ctype
jtype                       -> imtype
jstype                      -> cstype
javain                      -> csin
javaout                     -> csout
javainterfaces              -> csinterfaces
javabase                    -> csbase
javaclassmodifiers          -> csclassmodifiers
javacode                    -> cscode
javaimports                 -> csimports
javaptrconstructormodifiers -> csptrconstructormodifiers
javagetcptr                 -> csgetcptr
javafinalize                -> csfinalize

Feature equivalent names:

javaconst                   -> csconst
javamethodmodifiers         -> csmethodmodifiers

Pragma equivalent names:

pragma(java)                -> pragma(csharp)
jniclassbase                -> imclassbase
jniclassclassmodifiers      -> imclassclassmodifiers
jniclasscode                -> imclasscode
jniclassimports             -> imclassimports
jniclassinterfaces          -> imclassinterfaces

Special variable equivalent names:

$javaclassname              -> $csclassname
$javainput                  -> $csinput
$jnicall                    -> $imcall

The directory Examples/csharp has a number of examples. If your SWIG installation went well Unix users should be able to type make in each example directory, then ilrun runme (pnet C# compiler) or mono runme (Mono C# compiler) to see them running. Some project files will be added soon for use with the Microsoft .NET C# compiler.
