Every time I try to add the reference, I get "..could not be added. Please make sure the file is accessible and that is is a valid assembly or COM component." I have tried two different gs releases and the dll packed in your GhostScript wrapper. I would love any help. I know this is a stupid question.

It has the potential to solve a major problem I'm currently working on. However, I'm also getting that InitAPI method returning a -100. It's a bit difficult to debug as well. Using the exact same arguments through the gswin32.exe executable works fine but initialising the API in code seems to fall over for some reason which I can't seem to get. Any help?

I have a simple .NET form that needs to be able to post a PDF thumbnail to a website (among other things, of course). But, as I am still in the infancy of my programmnig knowledge, I need to know how to include this into my existing project. I'm used to writing everything from scratch (with exception of some reference dll's) and haven't used a project such as this inside another project. Any and all assistance would be useful. Thanks!!

Excellent work and you saved me a whole bunch of time and headache. The only addition I would have is that the ghostscript you made available didn't work on my machine, but this one: http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/GPL/gpl863.htm did. (Make sure you get the Windows version toward the bottom of the page.) I don't know if it was specific to my installation, but it may save others some time. AGAIN, GREAT WORK! Fantastic, Matthew!

I haven't been doing .Net development in a while, so it just hasn't come up. Hopefully, someone else ends up needing that and forks the project on github. Otherwise, it might be a while before I get around to it. @flalar I haven’t given any thought to it. I haven’t been doing .Net development in a while, so it just hasn’t come up.

Searching the web, there are many references to Ghostscript for conversion, but no good examples of making it work in .NET. Your wrapper makes it clean and simple. Thanks for making this public.
