As stated on the web site & in the READ ME / help files,
the "Standard Version" does not include any native .NET assemblies.
The "Professional Version" contains a native .NET 1.1, 2.0, and 3.5
version.

If you have the "Standard Version" and want to work with .NET, simply
go to the "VB6 DLL" sub-directory and make a reference to
the "AdvImgLib.dll" library there. This file is a COM DLL library
and can be used with any version of .NET because .NET supports COM
DLL's via the Interop sub-system. You won't need to worry about
distrubiting the VB6 run-time libraries either because they've been
distributed with every release of Windows since Win98 (including
Windows Vista).

If you do this, you'll need to distribute FreeImage2.dll (does NOT
need to be registered because it's a static C-style library)... and
you'll need to distribute AdvImgLib.dll (need to register this using
REGSVR32.EXE because it's a COM libary).

If you don't want to use COM within your .NET assemblies because you
want to keep everything "native .NET managed code" (which gives a
slight performance boost) then you'll need to purchase
the "Professional Version Upgrade" (which costs the difference of the
standard minus the professional).

Hope that helps.
