http://blogs.msdn.com/jaredpar/archive/2009/01/23/bclextras-library.aspxI published a .Net utility library on Code Gallery today called BclExtras .&#160; It’s a set of classes meant to be used in addition to the standard .Net base class libraries (BCL).&#160; The main focuses of the library are functional programming, multi-threading,en-USCommunityServer 2.1 SP1 (Build: 61025.2)http://blogs.msdn.com/jaredpar/archive/2009/01/23/bclextras-library.aspx#9372764Fri, 23 Jan 2009 18:34:33 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9372764 BclExtras Library &raquo; Click &amp; Solve <p>PingBack from <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.clickandsolve.com/?p=790">http://www.clickandsolve.com/?p=790</a></p> http://blogs.msdn.com/jaredpar/archive/2009/01/23/bclextras-library.aspx#9393408Tue, 03 Feb 2009 19:37:29 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9393408Tod<p>Please consider extending the BCL extras to handle more image, audio and video formats by wrapping the win32 api calls.</p> <p>For example, there is no .NET BCL call to open a wave file and get information (sample rate, number samples, duration, bit rate, etc) about it.</p> <p>Image file handling is similarly cumbersome since there apparently is no documented set of image codec parameters in .NET. &nbsp;Try coding and finding MSDN help pages for this SHOULD BE SIMPLE task:</p> <p>Open two color bitmap file, save jpeg file as a group 3 tiff file.</p> <p>Open two color bitmap file A, open two color bitmap file B, save both files into a 2 page TIFF file using group iV compression.</p>
