Visual Studio 2010

Question

Will a Visual Studio 2010 .lib and .dll be available before final release?

What's wrong with not using .net at all?

Currently, no. We plan on testing the Visual Studio 2008 .lib and .dll with Visual Studio 2010 before we go final. If we find a problem we will have to re-evaluate the situation and deal with it as time permits.

I would advice to have VS2010 libs (and perhaps a dll as well) as it is otherwise not possible to use this with .NET 4.0, as .NET 4.0 requires mixed mode DLL's to be built against vc100, not vc90; meaning the File Geo API lib needs to be built against vc100 as well.

Thanks for the reply.
 
However I've already tested it, and it did not work.

STL containers, such as string, wstring and vector, cannot, as far as I know, cross DLL boundaries where the caller and the callee are built with different versions of the CRT. They cannot even necessarily cross DLL boundaries where the caller and callee are compiled with different CRT flags, e.g. /MD versus /MT, or even /MD versus /MDd.
