thumbnailsgenie's Introduction

ThumbnailsGenie - C# thumbnails/icons library

ThumbnailsGenie is a library that generates thumbnails from images and several other file types (e.g. pdf, doc, xls). Images are resized and other file types are given proper, nice looking icon.

File icons are embedded into assembly so the library is suited for the server usage. It does not use any windows explorer API.
