is the .net library in working order, and if yes, how???

[fredlllll]

i wanted to write a fs in c#, but i can not for the live of me figure out how to get anything out of the .net library. i managed to get it to show up as a mounted drive, but when trying to access it i just get an error message box, and absolutely nothing in my filesystembase gets called. furthermore its all just objects. there seems to be no marshalling in the library? how am i supposed to work with just an object?

also absolutely 0 mention of the .net library in the docs. so yeah, is it realistic to use this library or should i just write my own wrapper at this point?

Are the .NET samples not working for you?

i havent found those using google. i didnt think to look inside "tests" for examples, as i only know that as a folder for unit tests and such.

yes the memfs example works. but i find it really odd that i have to provide my own filenode and directorynode classes. why are these not provided by the library and properly marshalled? the style looks very much like plain c instead of c#.

guess i can work off of the example, but without that, and no documentation, the .net library is basically unusable cause its missing the crucial types that the api needs. yes i know i could go in and fix this, but that would of course break backwards compatibility with old versions of the net library

ah well lets give fixing the example a go at least. please have a look at this pr draft and my proposed changes #633
