Title: [iText-questions] the future of itext and itextsharp

Both projects are kept in synch in the CVS. I program mostly in C# these days and needed something in C# to generate PDF. itextsharp already existed but had stoped development some years ago so, I took over and rewrote it. There was already itextdotnet in J# but I didn't want to drag all those extra libraries and it has problems in vb.net. I also wanted a library with some C# look and feel.

Subject: [iText-questions] the future of itext and itextsharp

Hi,
I was wondering about itextsharp and went and had a look at the webpage
and saw that both Bruno and Paulo were developers, and that the project
looks pretty active. I was just wondering whether one is substantially
more advanced than the other (probably itext over itextsharp) and
whether there was going to be an ongoing commitment to maintaining both.
It looks like with ikvm/mono java is pretty usable in the .net
environment (and vice-versa) and I was wondering what the logic was
behind maintaining two projects...
Cheers
Antoine
