4.4 Building netcdf.dll with VC++.NET

To build the netCDF dll with VC++.NET open the win32/NET/netcdf.sln file with Visual Studio. Both Debug and Release configurations are available - select one and build.

The resulting netcdf.dll file will be in subdirectory Release or Debug.

The netCDF tests will be built and run as part of the build process. The Fortran 77 interface will be built, but not the Fortran 90 or C++ interfaces.

The quick_large_files test program is provided as an extra project, however it is not run during the build process, but can be run from the command line or the IDE. Note that, despite its name, it is not quick. On Unix systems, this program runs in a few seconds, because of some features of the Unix file system apparently not present in Windows. Nonetheless, the program does run, and creates (then deletes) some very large files. (So make sure you have at least 15 GiB of space available). It takes about 45 minutes to run this program on our Windows machines, so please be patient.
