Title: .net version of TrID
Post by: Cairn on November 08, 2011, 11:26:09 PM

The .net version does not appear to have updated for some years, what is the difference between then standard library and the .net version, and if there are differences is the .net version going to be updated.

Hi!

TrIDNet haven't been updated because is stable and working well (within the design idea I had).
The results are the same of the command line TrID, or the TrIDEngine / TrIDLib libraries.
The filetypes' definitions are what is often updated, and again all the TrID* tools can and does use the same.
TrIDNet read directly the definitions in the source / XML format; TrID use a packaged version (created from the XML files using the TrIDDefsPack tool) to be more quick to run when invoked from the command line.

In the future a new version of TrIDNet will be probably be able to use the same TRD packages, and autoupdate it whenever a new one is published on my site.

Hope this clears things a bit,
Bye!

You may want to add that to the TrIDNet  page, just to avoid similar questions in the future.
