Usage of System.Numerics in VS2008

Well not in an easy way. As for System.Numerics it should be easy to refactor the code, search for BigInteger structures in the code and find a suitable data type available in 3.5, same for Complex structure (which requires more work).

For the Microsoft.CSharp the story will be a little bit different. As that namespace and lib contains only CSharpCodeProvider class which provides access to instances of the C# code generator and code compiler, I do not know how they used it and if that code is easily refactorable.

However, just check the code, maybe these libs are referenced but actually not used.

Let us know!

I just found a wonderful way to overcome this problem. Download source code of Mono — you will find source code of the Mono implementation of this unit. Mono is Open Source, and it will work with .NET.

Here: http://download.mono-project.com/sources/mono/mono-2.10.6.tar.bz2[^].

You can unpack the archive using 7zip: http://www.7-zip.org/[^].

I referenced the System.Numerics dll for the UIDHelper in Evil DICOM. If you have no need of generating UIDs, you can just delete the UIDHelper class from EvilDicom.Helpers.UIDHelper and retarget the whole library to 3.5.

Or if you want to still generate UIDs you can do it the old fashioned way: replace the following in the UIDHelper class:

public static string GenerateUID()
{
    return string.Format("{0}.{1}", "2.25", GenerateSystemGuid());
}

public static string GenerateUID(string prefix)
{
    return string.Format("{0}.{1}", prefix, GenerateSystemGuid());
}

public static string GenerateUID(string countryCode, string vendorID, string suffix)
{
    return string.Format("{0}.{1}.{2}.{3}", "2.16", countryCode, vendorID, suffix);
}

private static string GenerateSystemGuid()
{
    Guid g = Guid.NewGuid();
    uint[] uints = new uint[4];
    Buffer.BlockCopy(g.ToByteArray(), 0, uints, 0, 16);
    return String.Join("", uints.Select(i => i.ToString()).ToArray());
}
