The "Scientific DataSet library and tools" package can be downloaded either from
CodePlex project site or from
Microsoft Research (MSR) project site. They differ in the following features:
Feature | CodePlex | MSR |
Digital signatures | Self-signed certificate | Microsoft certificate |
Core | * | * |
Memory provider | * | * |
CSV provider | * | * |
NetCDF provider | * | * |
Sds utility | * | * |
DataSet Viewer application | - | * |
Excel 2007/2010 add-in | - | * |
Users of the library who want to use SDS in their programs and explore data with SDS utilities should install the "MSR" package.
Note that due to the difference in assembly public key tokens between those two distributions your programs linked to CodePlex package will not work on systems with MSR package installed and will require recompilation.
This CodePlex release is primarily for debugging purposes.
