<br>
</div>If you want to use ITK from a .NET application, then yes, SimpleITK is<br>
one of the options.<br>
<br>
Are you required to use C# for your GUI? If not, you may consider<br>
using either native ITK or SimpleITK with any number of graphical user<br>
frameworks, like QT for instance.<br>
<div class="im"><br>
> I'm assuming Simple ITK provides C# wrapping for ITK filters possibly not all of them but that is the essence. Is there something else I can use or is SimpleITK it?<br>
<br>
</div>A previous project -- ManagedITK -- is not longer supported. Besides<br>
SimpleITK, the only other option is to encapsulate native ITK (C++) in<br>
a DLL and use the P/Invoke functionality to access from a .NET<br>
application. This is actually my preferred method, as I am comfortable<br>
using native ITK and C++, and it gives me maximum flexibility.<br>
SimpleITK is much easier but less flexible.<br>
<div class="im"><br>
> Also while trying to build the binaries for SimpleITK I blundered across the following errors. Usually I manage to get around these but for some reason (I guess my brain has been refusing to work) I've been stuck with these errors for 2 days. They are probably just 2 minutes work for somebody out there so could you help me out please? I'm pasting the error report -<br>
<br>
</div>Hmmm. I have never encountered this error. What version of<br>
ITK/SimpleITK are you trying to build? What OS/compiler versions? Are<br>
you using the SuperBuild option? (SuperBuild is highly recommended).<br>
<br>
The automated build on Win 7 using Visual Studio 9 for the latest<br>
release (0.5.1) builds successfully:<br>

<br>
BTW: you can download pre-built SimpleITK .NET dlls from here:<br>

> Another tiny little problem that I'd like to have out of the way too. I've been using ITK for some time now. But, only very recently did I decide to port to ITKv4. My question is - Is OpenCl a necessity for itkv4?<br>
<br>
</div>AFAIK OpenCL is not required for ITKV4. It is only used if you enable<br>
the GPU option.<br>
