WikiFunctions.dll is a Microsoft .NET Framework dynamically linked library containing various classes and user interface elements related to wiki editing. Besides being a repository for code shared between various AWB executables, WikiFunctions also contains much in the way of standalone code reusable by other projects and AWB plugins.

Objects

WikiFunctions contains various objects and modules used by AutoWikiBrowser, other AWB products, and AWB plugins. It also contains various items which may be of use to 3rd party developers, some of which are:

WikiFunctions.Browser.WebControl	Provides a WebBrowser component adapted and extended for use with Wikis.

WikiFunctions.Encryption.RijndaelSimple	Contains an easy to use wrapper around Rijndael encryption. The class uses a symmetric key algorithm (Rijndael/AES) to encrypt and decrypt data. As long as encryption and decryption routines use the same parameters to generate the keys, the keys are guaranteed to be the same.
WikiFunctions.Lists	Provides functionality to create and manipulate Lists of pages from many different sources.
WikiFunctions.Logging.IMyTraceListener	An interface implemented by all trace (logging) classes including the trace manager
WikiFunctions.Logging.TraceListenerBase	This abstract class can be used to build trace listener classes
WikiFunctions.Logging.TraceListenerUploadableBase	An abstract class for building auto-uploading trace listeners

WikiFunctions.Logging.WikiTraceListener	This class logs in Mediawiki-markup format
WikiFunctions.Logging.XHTMLTraceListener	This class logs in XHTML format

WikiFunctions.Logging.Uploader.TraceStatus	A class which keeps track of statistics and not-yet-uploaded log entries.
WikiFunctions.Logging.Uploader.UploadableLogSettings	A simple settings class for logging solutions
WikiFunctions.Logging.Uploader.UploadableLogSettings2	An extended base class with extra properties for a comprehensive logging solution
WikiFunctions.Logging.Uploader.UploadingPleaseWaitForm	A form for displaying when the application is busy uploading
WikiFunctions.Logging.UploaderUsernamePassword	Stores the user's login details/cookies
