.NET version

[Sven Knoch]

Hi Gary, this isn't a problem C / .NET. Windows Store apps (including those
for the ARM platform Windows RT) can perfectly include native C or C++ dlls
if they only use the allowed API's. And for downloading dive computers you
need the serial API, which is not one of the allowed as far as I know. Even
if it would be allowed, libdivecomputer would have to be compiled for ARM,
but I think this would be easier than a complete rewrite in .NET.

Subject: .NET version

I would be interested in the efforts to make a .NET version of your
downloader code.  My goal is that I want to go diving in the Philippines in
late October, I want to download the dive computer into a Surface RT each
day using the Diving Log software.  That software is already .NET, so if
libdivecomputer can also be a .NET assembly, then I stand a much better
chance of achieving my goal, assuming I can get the Diving Log software to
load and use the new assembly (not hard to do in .NET).  How can I help you
accomplish this?
