Create a CD/DVD ISO Image in .NET

Question

I'm searching for a library (or codebase) which will allow the creation of an ISO image from a CD/DVD with the .NET platform.

Does the .NET framework itself support the creation of ISO images?

I appreciate any advice.

.Net itself cannot create or manipulate ISO images.

You can search Google for ISO libraries; I found this one.

@SLaks: Thank you ! not sure why I didn't think of that, must be gettin old and forgetful. My google-fu isn't what it used to be. – Dec 23 '09 at 13:31

It is possible to use the IMAPI COM objects for this, and these should be easy to use from .NET. Related question: http://stackoverflow.com/q/8324075/223837. – MarnixKlooster ReinstateMonica Nov 30 '11 at 12:20

Bad spelling, but also works with DVDs.

I was looking for ISO handling in general (reading AND writing) and I found this page: .NET DiscUtils

MIT License, only managed code and supports FAT, NTFS and virtual machine images. Might be worth a look if you want to read back your stuff.

Since Codplex has been shutdown, the latest DiscUtils (as of this writing) can be found at https://github.com/DiscUtils/DiscUtils – DaveWilliamson Jan 02 '22 at 19:09
Can someone explain how I can add the DiscUtils to a project? I don't understand how to do that and the documentation isn't very clear. I am still learning C#. – Tornado726 May 28 '22 at 02:52
