I don't think it really makes sense to port LibTIFF to 100% managed .NET code. The better approach would be to use PInvoke from .NET to call the compiled LibTIFF library functions and create your own objects based on that, or use an existing 3rd party .NET component that's based on LibTIFF (check my signature for more info there). Also, MS Visual Studio 2005, currently in beta, allows for compiling unmanaged code into managed assemblies using C++. This would be the ultimate solution as it takes advantage of both managed usability and the .NET Framework with unmanaged performance and memory management.
