What's the best freely available C# wrapper for BITS? [closed]

Question

BITS, the Windows background intelligent transfer service.

Looks like there are a few C# wrappers around that manage the interop to BITS, does anybody have any opinions on the best one?

There's a new learn.microsoft.com page that talks about using BITS and C#, plus a brand-new c#/WPF sample on GitHub. – Promycelium

Answer 1

I found problems with using the Managed_BITS codeproject article and I found an even better wrapper:

http://nuget.org/packages/SharpBITS

Less code, a lot cleaner and unlike the codeproject, it did not hide away those parts of the BITS interface that I actually need to use.
