A DDS reader in C#, extracted and refactored from igaeditor. With updates found in this gist, to cater for more formats.
The main function of the library is to read a DDS image and convert it to a System.Drawing.Bitmap object,
using the LoadImage method of the DDS class.
It can be used by simply supplying the file path as a string argument.
Bitmap bmp = DDS.LoadImage(@".\textures\sample.dds");
Overloaded versions of LoadImage exist to load from a byte array as well as from a Stream.
Supports DXTn formats only (DXT1, DXT2, DXT3, DXT4, DXT5).
There are no plans to add support for any other formats at this time, but pull requests are always welcome.

To speed things up, there is some unsafe code in this program.
If you don't want the unsafe routines, compile with the /define:SAFE_MODE option, and safe routines will be used instead.
The "safe" routines are very very slow on Microsoft's .NET CLR on Win32,but are still pretty fast on Mono. You have been warned.
