+[section:c_sharp Using the Distributions from Within C#]
+
+The distributions in this library can be used from the C# programming language
+when they are built using Microsofts Common Language Runtime option.
+
+An example of this kind of usage is given in the 
+[@../../distexplorer/html/index.html distribution_explorer] example: 
+see =boost-root/libs/math/dot_net_example=
+for the source code: the application consists of a C++ dll that contains the
+actual distributions, and a C# GUI that allows you to explore their properties.
