Re: libitl-0.6.4 :A possible BUG? C# porting almost complete!

Thamer,
Thanks for the clarification.

About the other bug, could you tell me which file contains the bug?
This would make my job fixing the port much easier.

About the porting job, I will mail to you my work. It's up to you to
post it to arabeyes or not. One port that I'm very sure available on
the net is php port, which is done by the person maintain
islamprayertime.com . He made the source code available for download
from his site. Another thing is he provide the data for world cities
location. Quite an extensive list.

AS I mentioned in my ealier mail, my current port is a simple port of
the code. I did very minimal redesign  of the program structure. Since
C# is a pure object oriented, certain things need to be done
differently, unlike C++. I will try to make the code better on terms
of object oriented design.

Salam.
