[Coin-discuss] Microsoft Solver Foundation plugin

[Daan Wynen]

Hi Lou,

I would love to see if my models fall into the "expected use case" so if 
it is not too much work for you I would just try it out to see what happens.
Unfortunately I cannot actually work a lot on the code since I am not 
familiar with interfacing native labraries in .net and (more 
importantly) have to complete my work soon. So this would mainly be out 
of interest in different results and different performances on my models.

Thank you for the response,

Daan
