c# unit conversion library for food amounts

c# unit conversion library for food amounts

I want to implement a simple unit conversion library for food measurements, ie cups teaspoons. pinch, milliliters, ounces, liters, grams, pounds etc etc etc. Are there any libraries out there that I can use allready, if not I want to roll my own in the pseudo manner below:

enum Unit  {      Centimeters = 0,      Meter = 1,      Kilometer = 2             }      //| |           |   0       |  1    |   2       |  //----------------------------------------------  //| |           |Centimeters| Meters| Kilometers|  //----------------------------------------------  //|0|Centimeters|1        | 0.01  | 0.000001  |  //----------------------------------------------  //|1|Meters  |100        | 1      | 1000     |  //----------------------------------------------  //|2|Kilometers |100000     | 1000  | 1         |  //----------------------------------------------      public float Convert(Unit UnitFrom, Unit UnitTo, UnitValue)  {     float factor = UnitMatrix[UnitFrom][Unit UnitTo];     return UnitValue * factor;  }    //Usage  Convert(Unit.Kilometers, Unit.Meters, 5)  // Lookup factor in this case would be the one at [2, 1] i.e. 1000 so output is 5000  

Pointers, pitfalls, too naive? Any help would be useful. A current opensource implementation that I can study would be great too. TIA

Don't know if it will meet all your needs but this looks to cover a good range of measurements:

Though it looks to be in development, and there is only one class available in the source repository

@n4rzul, I have started developing an open-source units-of-measurement library in C#, that could easily be extended with any unit of your request. Please have a look at the project website at Github, https://github.com/cureos/csunits, and see if this library meets your needs.

I recently released Units.NET on GitHub and on NuGet.

It gives you all the common units and conversions. It is light-weight, unit tested and supports PCL.

Although I haven't incorporated all the food units yet, it is on the list of things to add.

Example conversions:

Length meter = Length.FromMeters(1);  double cm = meter.Centimeters; // 100  double yards = meter.Yards; // 1.09361  double feet = meter.Feet; // 3.28084  double inches = meter.Inches; // 39.3701  

Parse and Get Culture-Specific Abbreviations:

var us = new CultureInfo("en-US");  var norwegian = new CultureInfo("nb-NO");    Unit.Tablespoon == UnitSystem.Create(us).Parse("tbsp")  Unit.Tablespoon == UnitSystem.Create(norwegian).Parse("ss")      "T" == UnitSystem.GetDefaultAbbreviation(Unit.Tablespoon, us)  "ss" == UnitSystem.GetDefaultAbbreviation(Unit.Tablespoon, norwegian)

I have also developed a units library. It is available on NuGet here. The repository is on my bitbucket account linked from my profile here on SO.
