That’s certainly a strong possibility, Jon. Looks like our toolkits have a lot of the same goals. My Collections namespace is quite a bit different than yours (e.g. ReadOnlyDictionary inherits ReadOnlyCollection>) but I’m sure we can still merge successfully. I’ll work on putting my code up today and we can go from there.

By any chance, would you like to merge your toolkit with Cadenza?

http://gitorious.org/cadenza

It’s MIT/X11 licensed, and already contains many of the types you listed (e.g. ReadOnlyDictionary, IEnumerable.Walk {though it’s called .Apply() in Cadenza}, etc.), your Reflection extension methods, etc.

I’d love to get more contributors involved.

Currently the client is available by invitation only. Foole, the source for the client will probably not be released since I am considering selling the client after doing some market research.

The AMF/AMF3 library I wrote to enable serialization and deserialization of AMF streams is, however, free software: http://gitorious.org/amf/amf

I’d love to learn more about your Farmville client. Any plans to release it/the source?

Comment on pcap-sharp RC1 by Chris

WinPcap is a suite of components that includes libpcap. The upshot is that it provides network drivers and an API-compatible libpcap that connects to those drivers. If properly coded, a wrapper around libpcap will work across platforms, including Windows.

The primary advantage I can see to using pcap-sharp instead of Pcap.Net is that the latter library is managed C++, which is not portable. pcap-sharp is a pure managed library and so it will run on platforms where managed C++ is not supported, such as Linux.

Hey Chris,

What exactly are the benefits of wrapping LibPcap instead of WinPcap in .NET?

I’ve written a wrapper myself called Pcap.Net (available at http://pcapdotnet.codeplex.com/) that wraps almost all of WinPcap features and includes a packet parsing library and I’m not sure what am I losing by wrapping WinPcap instead of LibPcap.

Thank you,

Boaz.
