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#.

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. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Antoine Sent: Sun 13-Nov-05 19:43 To: [email protected] 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...
