C# Zip library
After the announcement about closing Codeplex, I moved my C# Zip library to GitHub: https://github.com/perevoznyk/karna-compression
Many of today’s applications require the capability of extracting certain files from a ZIP archive, either onto the hard disk or into memory.
Info-ZIP is an Open Source version of Phil Katz’s “deflate” and “inflate” routines used in his popular file compression program, PKZIP. Info-ZIP code has been incorporated into a number of third-party products as well, both commercial and freeware. It offers two dynamic link libraries: one for zipping, and one for unzipping.
The Info-ZIP DLLs are free to use and distribute, but they are designed to be used in C/C++ projects, so they’re not really .NET-friendly. Also, the Info-ZIP package contains almost no documentation showing how to use the Info-ZIP DLLs.
Therefore, I decided to write a small C# wrapper that provides all the required data types and functions in order to give the possibility to work with the Info-ZIP API.
More information about the Info-ZIP project can be found on Info-ZIP’s home site: www.info-zip.org.
What’s New for C# and VB in Visual Studio
A first-hand look from the .NET engineering teams
Swelio 1.5 – Freeware Belgian eID card SDK
The new release of Swelio – freeware Belgian eID card SDK is available for download.
Whats new in this release:
* Fixed some bugs in C++ code
* Updated C++ documentation
* Added Delphi documentation
* Added Microsoft .NET binding
The C# source code of the .NET binding included. The library supports AnyCPU, x86 and x64 projects. It is compatible with .NET Framework 2.0 – 4.5 and tested with all Windows versions starting from Windows XP.
The provided assembly was compiled for .NET Framework 2.0 using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, but the project can be easily upgraded to the more recent versions of the .NET Framework and Visual Studio. It was done to cover more possible configuration, because the downgrade of the Visual Studio project is not possible. The sample project is also provided.
Please leave your comments or write a review to help me improve the quality and functionality of the Swelio SDK. If you found a bug – please report it to me using the contact form. The future requests from the active testers will be treated with higher priority.

Krento becomes Open Source
The time has come for KRENTO to be released as open source.You can find the source code on Google Code site: https://github.com/perevoznyk/krento
After 4 years of hard work I understood that I can’t continue the development of such a big project alone. I hope that other developers will show the interest of giving the boost to this project.
