C# Browscap Version

I made a little test with a first C# parser as ConsoleApplication, witch uses Windows native methods, i think C# has no own INI class (if someone knows a better way, please tell us):

For loading the 48048 sections in an array and sort them by length (descending) it takes 796 ms (I think that's ok, because the loading should only happen once), on a search of "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:28.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/28.0" the match [Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1*WOW64) Gecko/* Firefox/28.0*] was found in 811ms (I think that's bad)
to get the values and copy them to a NameValueCollection it takes 203 ms (that's very bad)

I think the only way to do that with C# is to write an INI-File Class for C# and also write a little function as replacement for the regular expressions.

The following version is only my test version, not all necessary measures for the proper processing were implemented!

ToDo / known issues:

Replace the RegExp method with a faster like in my free pascal version
Replace the kernel32 implementation of ini-file methods by a native C# class
Check for match without comparing numbers
