== Description == ManagedITK generates wrappers around ITK for .NET languages. These wrappers can be used with any CLR language, including C#, VB.NET, IronPython, and others. ManagedITK is useful for a number of reasons, including the ability to rapidly create graphical user interfaces using Windows Forms (also known as System.Windows.Forms).

See Copyright.txt for copyright details.

See ChangeLog.txt for list of changes.

The Article folder contains the original Insight Journal article. This article provides a good starting point for building and using ManagedITK. http://insight-journal.org/browse/publication/151

The Example folder contains a number of example projects. The ManagedITK assembly paths are hard-coded into the *.csproj files, and may need to be manually edited to compile the examples.

The Images folder contains a number of example images used in the article and examples.

The Patch folder contains instructions and files to patch ITK.

The Source folder contains the source files for generating the ManagedITK assemblies.

The Utilities folder contains some utilities required to build ManagedITK.

== Build Instructions ==

  1. Download Source Source files can be downloaded from: http://code.google.com/p/manageditk/

  2. Unzip Source (if required) Unzip the source to a folder, such as C:/Insight-Toolkit/Wrapping/ManagedITK.

  3. Patch ITK Follow the instructions in the Patch folder to patch your ITK source to fix bugs caused by the Visual Studio compiler. Hopefully these patches will be included in the ITK CVS source in the near future.

  4. Configure and Build ITK Configure (with CMake) and build ITK 3.2.0 or greater with ITK_USE_REVIEW =ON.

  5. Configure ManagedITK Open CMake and set the source-code to the folder containing the unzipped source and the build path to the desired location (as of v3.2.0.2 ManagedITK supports both in-source and out-of-source builds). Click the Configure button and select "Visual Studio 8 2005" Set the ITK_DIR, MANAGED_ITK_ASSEMLYPREFIX, and WRAP* variables as desired. Click the OK button to finish the configuration.

  6. Convert to Managed Projects BEFORE opening the projects, run the FinishCMake.bat file located in the build folder. Because CMake does not support managed projects, this batch file is required to convert the generated vcproj files into managed projects.

  7. Open Solution Open the ManagedITK.sln solution file. If you have a multi-core processor, set the parallel project build option as desired. To configure this feature, go to Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > Build and Run and type the maximum number of parallel builds in the text box.

  8. Build Projects Build all the projects by right-clicking ALL BUILD and selecting Build. The ALL BUILD project automatically builds all the projects taking care of dependencies.
