Dear @haacked ,

as I do often run in a similar situation, I was thinking that I should have something out of the box, as your Rothko project, that will supply to my need of abstracting system resources.
I would like to contribute and I do think that I have a couple of good ideas.
Is this project still active and do you still have interest in following it?

Thanks

Mario

Was going to add some methods on IDialogFacade for showing message boxes when I ran in to CA1300.

So I thought about only implementing the overload that takes all parameters up to and including MessageBoxOptions. Guess another approach would be to implement the ones that take an IWin32Window and check the LTR settings on the window. Could even make it take a handle and create an IWin32Window internally to simplify use from WPF.

Any preference? Mine would be that people stop using MessageBox but I don't see that happening. :-/

The ``IFileFacade.ReadAllTextmethod accepts anEncoding` parameter but the `IFileFacade.WriteAllText` does not. Is this intentional or an oversight? It seems to me that specifying the encoding on writing a text file is equally, if not more, important than specifying it on read...

Last night I tried to use rothko but couldn't find the nuget package. Is that on purpose?

See http://www.csharp411.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/OSInfo.cs as an example in how to do it.

I've written simple wrappers implementing some of the interfaces in this project but wasn't sure if you were looking for contributions at all. Or if that's even what you had in mind, although it seemed likely.

It's all rather simple stuff but it should get the job done. There are no integration tests at all since there's really no complexity to speak of. Most methods are just a single line calling another method and it doesn't get any more complex than doing that and calling a Select on the resulting set to convert them to the correct type.

But if tests are desired I'll add them in before submitting a PR.
