C++ is particularly difficult for bindings for C# (and for other languages as well, really) as opposed to plain C. One possible solution would be to use the flat C API (not sure how well developed this is...), and just use P/Invoke in C# to call the functions. I suspect this would be easier and more maintainable than trying to maintain the SWIG bindings. If the C API is not well developed, it probably wouldn't be hard to add to it; Xiphos has essentially been wrapping the C++ API with a C API for a long time.
