I know it's the XML age out there, but if I would like to make a simple properties file for using in a small application, XML Parsers, XST, XSL, XSD, and all these 'X' techs make a mess in my head. A minimalist "ini like" flat text file for store properties still missing in .net/mono API.

So, here is a .NET/Mono library for simple and minimal parameters files manipulation. The format of these files are simplest than the MS Windows .ini files. The philosophy of key=value still exists except the "sections". All keys in the file belong to one anonymous section. Comments etc. in the file are not allowed. Of course the file has unicode encoding.

To see the full library's class reference see the PropsClassReference at the wiki page.
