Thanks, >From what I can tell, the "only" way to create the bindings in C# is to make a c++ managed code wrapper that will call the unmanaged libsword.dll. That is basically doing all the heavy lifting that swig was doing for you, except that I could never get swig to compile. I don't want to do that, otherwise I just as well try and get swig to work.
I am all in favor of trying what I haven't tried, or step aside to someone who knows what they are doing in creating the bindings. My experience is in C# and vb.net. My dilemma is that I want to use the SWORD Library and cannot in my language that I am comfortable writing in. I can read C++, and I have made modifications in C++ programs, but I am outside my comfort zone. I am willing to write the native C# library, and not scared off with compression, block size, or encryption. That is right up my alley. I just need to understand the structure of the ztext module so I can return the raw text. From there we can add the different filters that convert it to the different formats that make sense. I don't mind using bindings to the libsword.dll, but I have not been able to get swig to work. Someone who knows what they are doing needs to do that.
