[Curtis Rueden]

Hi Peter,

I briefly investigated using Bio-Formats with IKVM.NET in 2007, but
concluded that it was too slow for our needs at the time. Even then though,
it ostensibly worked, which is pretty impressive for a project of that
scope. And of course, six years later now, I have heard that IKVM.NET is
much improved. You would obviously have to try for yourself, but I am
guessing for your needs it might be a good match.

As for learning Java, fortunately, C# and Java are extremely similar
languages. So hopefully you will not find it too difficult to study the
code examples and adapt them for use in your .NET application.

If you get something working, we would love to hear back about it! We could
post more specific information about .NET & Bio-Formats to the web site for
the benefit of others, if you have any tips, pitfalls, etc., that you want
to share.

Thanks,
Curtis
