MS Data File Reader - DLL for .NET

The MsDataFileReader DLL is a VB.NET DLL that can be used to read mass spectrum data from four file formats:

  • mzXML
  • mzData
  • Concatenated .Dta files (_dta.txt)
  • Mascot Generic Format files (.mgf)

The mzXML and mzData file reader classes can be used to read the files in a forward-only fashion, or they can pre-cache the location of each spectrum's information in the source file to allow for random access.
