Rebornix a525dfa28f Add a link to C# port of Shield style badge lib.
When we try to add a badge service to [visual studio gallery](visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com), we find Shield is the best option but there is no .NET implementation. So we port it to [.NET](https://github.com/rebornix/DotBadge) for better code integration.

I'll appreciate it if you can add a link to C# port of Shield badge library and CLI, which can bring more audience to this tiny draft project. But we can understand if you don't, as it's not an official one :)

Contribution Guidelines

This is the home of Shields.io, home to the badge design specification, API documentation, and server code for Badges as a Service.

We invite participation through GitHub Issues, which we use much like a discussion forum. This repository should only contain non-implementation specific topics: specifications, design, and the web site.

This implementation

Please see INSTALL.md for information on how to start contributing code to shields.io.

Note that the root gets redirected to http://shields.io. For testing purposes, you can go to http://localhost/try.html. You should modify that file. The "real" root, http://localhost/index.html, gets generated from the try.html file.

Implementations

The main implementation, available at http://shields.io, has its code located in this repository.

Other systems that produce badges following the same design, hosted elsewhere, are listed below.

website / AP language issues
shielded JavaScript shielded
buckler.repl.ca Go buckler
old img.shields.io (discontinued) Python img.shields.io-old
DotBadge C# DotBadge

Please report bugs and discuss implementation specific concerns (performance characteristics, etc.) in the repository for the respective implementation.

Adding support for a service

Please open an issue if you'd like to use Shields badges for a project that isn't yet supported.
