C# Header file - can Flare create one for export?

[Sharon_G]

Hi All,
I have been specifically asked by our engineers if there is any way for me to export a header file in C# format (.cs extension). This is not an option from the Export header File dialog in 4.2 or 5.0, but I was wondering if anyone had come up with a workaround?
Thanks,
Sharon

I can't speak from personal experience on this, but a fellow member of the Rochester Flare User Group posted this on the group's private forum. (I hope she recognizes herself and posts an answer directly for you here.)

She wrote:

..."one thing that has been a minor setback for us is that the header file that Flare generates is that Flare does not export to C#, which, of course, is what we use for software development. So our guy has written a little script that "translates" C/C++ header file output from Flare into C#."

So perhaps there is something that your C# developer can solve, using the file that Flare does generate.

I made MadCap aware of the from the very beginning. Very strange since they obvious made MadCap in some managed language.
Probably why it is so slow

We made a small program converting all the C++ #defines into a an Enum.
