Converting files from 1 format to another
Nov 30, 2012 06:13 PM|LINK
I need to develop a program in C# that allows files to be converted from 1 format to another.
Does the .Net framework have a static class that allows coversion of 1 file type to another? For example MP4 to MP3 or BMP to PNG.
How does one learn about the codecs that are within the .NET framework and how to use them?

see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/w0x726c2.aspx ",NET Framework 4.5" and also "http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj160347.aspx "Roadmap for the .NET Framework".
onetjn, for questions like this, Google (and/or your favourite search engine) are quite useful:
