The need may be minimal because once you target .NET you may be limiting yourself to a single OS and environment ( I am aware of Mono ). More importantly .NET already has a set of filesystem like classes, so you are competing against something that is already there.
We also have Win32's CreateFile, but so what?
But if you feel it is worthwhile and useful for others, go for it ( that is what I did with my library ). Yu can even sell it if you like.
All I wanted is add to boost::filesystem one more implementation that filesystem's client code will be a bit more portable and safe in terms of Microsoft .NET. -- Pavel Chikulaev
