Philosophizing about the .Net religion

PocketPC Comic Book Reader

I applied today for a project on Codeplex.com.  I have resolved some of my licensing issues by getting the #ziplib project working in my viewer (there was a solution in their faq).  You can read the evolution of this project here.  I have a few tweaks that I want to do to it once I get the source released.  I get about 2 request a month for the project, and wanted to quit using the commercial library (mainly because I wasn’t sure how I could actually release the project as an open source project and have it be useful).

Anyway, I am attaching to this message the PocketPC reader.  You need the .Net Compact Framework 2.0 installed on your device.  If you don’t have version 2.0 this is not going to work.

You will also want to scale your images down a little.  I have a desktop application that scales the images down for you (but right at the moment it’s not the most user-friendly).  Watch for a post later this weekend (with that released).  Also, this reader reads CBZ files ONLY… if your files are in CBR (RAR) format you will need to convert them to CBZ (zip) format.  This application only reads the image files, and it ignores any other files in the archive.

The scroll buttons will scroll the image and pressing the scroll buttons center button will advance to the next page.  Again, I will be releasing full source code for both projects on Codeplex.com as soon as my project gets created.
