How to generate EDIFACT messages (IFIMIN) from .net (C#)?

Question

Hi

I am about to start a project where I need to generate an EDIFACT message (message type: IFTMIN). Since my project is .net based (C# + asp.net) I am looking for advise on generating EDIFACT messages in .net.

Is there a free (possibly open source) library that will help generate an EDIFACT message? Are there any pitfalls in regards to encoding etc.?

If anybody has some example code I would love to have a look.

Best regards, Egil.

I have not been able to find a framework for edifact that we could use. In the end we used FileHelpers Libabry to read the files and coded the rest by hand. FileHelpers lib does support record based files, much like edifact.
