The Pegasus Library is a collection of .NET classes that augments the .NET framework with helper classes and services. The library has been developed by professional developers from real world problems that I, and others, have been faced with. As with most developers today, I have worked for a fairly large number of companies. As I moved from company to company I found that I was constlenetly rewrite infrstructure code (list, collections, debugging, monitoring, etc...) I decieded a few years ago (I was working on a project that used Java) to create an open source (GNU based licensed) library that I could take with me when I moved or worked on a new contract. Thus, the Pegasus Library was born. It has gone through a few changeds from Java, to VB, and then to C# (the latest edition).

The primary goal was not to have a huge environment that provides a new way to build applications, but a set of classes and tools that augment the way I develope code. If you are looking for a database access layer (DAL), or a application security layer, the Pegasus Library may not be what you are looking for. The library was designed to be a "use what I need" and not an "all or nothing". If you are looking for a larger object model for .NET then I suggest you check out Microsoft's Patterns and Practices Web Site.

I have designed the Pegasus Library to be used directly buy the application. It has NOT been designed to be placed in the Global Assembly Cache(GAC). Here http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/DemystifyGAC.asp is a good article about the GAC and what its used for.

Just place the Dll in the same directory as your .exe file.

Installation

To install the library in a development environment use the following steps.

Download and install your favorite .NET Development Environment

Visual Studio (This is what I use). The Free Express Editions
.NET 2.0 SDK and Notepad

Note: I use Visual Studio Team Suite Edition to build the Pegasus Library. This version of VS support all the Testing project types. If you are using the Professional or Express editions of VS 2005 they do not support the Test project types. When loading the Pegasus Solution file you will receive an error "The project type is not supported by this installation." for the unit test projects.

Download the lastest release of the Pegasus Library
Unzip the files to your local hard drive.
Add a reference to the library in your development environment
