Hello,
 
Almost all features of iText works on recent IKVM. But, because several
age-old classes (Chunk, Document, Image ...) has members with the same name,
it is hard to use the classes from C#. (You need to call them via wrapper
class or reflection mechanism). 
Now, iText.NET is for who want to keep the same source code under both java
and J#.

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
