... but has anyone done a .NET port? If not, I would like to volunteer my services. The situation is this: the .NET base class library only provides LDAP support in the context of interacting with Active Directory (go figure), and the performance and design of their directory-services package leave much to be desired anyway. I think that anything that can be done to free .NET from a Windows-only implementation is good for us programmers, and good for the world in general.
I've downloaded the latest version of the Java API for a project recently, and I don't think it would take long to do a correct port to .NET. By "correct" I don't mean filtering it through Microsoft's grotty import tools and hoping for the best, but manually reviewing the whole codebase during the port to make sure it takes advantage of C# and .NET features to get the best performance. I'd faithfully reproduce the whole API, with the exception of minor changes to follow C# naming standards. In the past I've mostly worked with the BSD license, but of course I'm willing to work with your licensing terms or I wouldn't be volunteering. I'd like to host the project here, in the proper place, instead of somewhere else like SourceForge. Thanks a lot for providing the world's best LDAP package, and thanks for your attention.
