Happy New Year to the exiv2 enthusiasts (and unhappy Windows form users)

I've never used Windows forms. The MSVC environment builds native exiv2
libraries (both
static and dynamic). I'm wondering if we need to build a managed code version
to link
with Windows Forms. Some time ago, Andreas Grimme (not Andreas Huggel) posted a
.Net wrapper for exiv2 written in C#. I have successfully built that and
perhaps that's
what's needed here.

Anyway, several suggestions:
1) Maybe somebody can comment on linking native code with Windows forms.
2) Does the C# wrapper help?
3) Send me your windows form code (and build environment) and I'll investigate.
