I'm not familiar with C# or Managed C++, so I cannot help you with 
getting from C++ to C#. Though from what little I understand, it is 
possible.

But on the OpenVRML side of the fence, the typical way to pick stuff out 
of the VRML scene graph is to use openvrml::node_traverser. Also have a 
look at the openvrml::browser documentation; in particular 
openvrml::browser::do_get_resource.

After deciding that SourceForge isn't going to fix their CVS problems on 
shell.sf.net any time soon, it finally hit me that I could use rsync to 
update the Web site easily enough. So the 0.16.0 documentation has now 
been uploaded. The main page now sports an initial feeble attempt at 
"user guide" style information. Feedback regarding what is missing can 
help me better direct my energies in improving it.
