Creating a DLL for Tesseract 3 and including it in C#

[Alexander]

Hi,
I have tried to create a dll that I can use in C# with the provided
Visual Studio 2010 project. The dll compiles fine and when I check it
with the Dependency Walker I see the various Methods that are
available...

However, I am unable to successfully call any none-static methods in
the dll from C#. To solve this problem I e.g. tried to change the CLR
setting (compiles just fine with /clr) or make the DLL managed (won't
compile anymore)...

Even with CLR enabled I could not use an instance of the TessBaseAPI
class in my C# project...

Is there any other way to call Tesseract from C#?

Thanks for you help!

a few days ago was uploaded new version of TesseractEngineWrapper for
.Net. Here is link for download
http://code.google.com/p/tesseractdotnet/downloads/detail?name=TesseractEngine3DotNetWrapper_RC2%20_r552.zip&can=2&q=
and after download open solution in VS 2010 (this is path for
solution TesseractEngine3DotNetWrapper_RC2
_r552\tesseract_r552\vs2008\tesseract.sln). Then you have to compile.
All steps from this tutorial
(http://code.google.com/p/tesseractdotnet/wiki/TesseractEngineWrapper)
are done in solution. So you don`t need make any changes. After
compile you will have new tesseractengine3.dll. The
tesseractengine3.dll is default compiled for .Net 4.0. I hope that it
will be helpful for you.
