C# IDML library #64

Hey there,

first of all huge thanks to the community for creating and maintaining this library!

I've been searching for a C# equivalent and it seems there is not much out there. Before I dive head-first into creating a .Net IDML library, I wanted to understand how you approached creating SimpleIDML. Was it all manual code writing based on the formal specs, or is there any semi-automated approach you were able to leverage?

I'd appreciate a pointer in the right direction.

Hi @mariuszhermansdorfer,

It was Mostly done by reverse engineering the IDML files and using the Adobe documentation. And a lot of try/error.

Good luck.

That's what I was afraid of :) Thanks a lot @Starou!
