[netCDF #KVZ-364542]: Question about netcdf DLL file for visual studios 2017

Hi Brian,

We don't provide a native C# library, and I am not familiar with the error code 
you're seeing.  A little bit of research suggests that the problem isn't an 
invalid library but rather the way in which the library is being linked 
against.  The best reference I could find appears to be a bit dated, but is 
perhaps a good place to start:

I'd be happy to help you build a version using the Visual Studio C compiler, 
although we have not yet tested it with the newest 2017 community edition.  I 
have no reason to believe it won't work, however.  

In order to build netCDF in Windows, you will need to install cmake 
(http://cmake.org) and hdf5 (if you need netCDF4 support, http://hdfgroup.org). 
 Once these are installed, I can help you get netCDF installed as well.  

I hope this helps,
