Overview

This is the online Software Development Kit (SDK) for TextFileSplitter. Note that this refers to the new version 2.5.0 and newer.

TextFileSplitter started as a C# .NET 3.5 software utility. The new version is being developed in C# .NET 4.0 using Visual Studio 2010. All of the custom libraries have been converted to C# .NET 4.0 and are working correctly.

Compatible IDEs:

• Visual Studio 2010

Extensibility

	The new plugin architecture is based on Microsoft's Managed Extensibility Framework, also known as MEF.
