NetCoreEx
Extended collection of packages that provide common structures, extensions, and helpers that can be used across many libraries, and applications.
Nuget:
Install-Package NetCoreEx.[PackageName]
All packages fully support the CoreCLR.
Goals
- Abstract as much framework-like structs, and classes that aren't a part of the BCL.
- Provide helpers, and extensions that are commonly re-implemented redundantly by several libraries, and frameworks.
- Abstract the concept of colors in a simple and elegant way that's binary compatible with C-data structures, with clean extensions for conversions.
Packages
NetCoreEx.Geometry- Contains common core geometries like Point, PointS, Rectangle, Size, RectangleF, SizeF and so on.NetCoreEx.BinaryExtensions- Pointers and numeric binary helpers.NetCoreEx.Colors- Color abstractions.
Note: - Starting from v3, all packages are netstandard 1.4, and Source nuget packages are no more.
Current Features
- Common IntPtr operations (Example: Break IntPtr into low, and high, convert to int safely on both 32-bit and 64-bit safely, and so on)
- Common binary manipulations of int, long, etc (Example: get or set low and high value of int)
- Common geometric patterns like Rect, Point, Size, RectF, RectS with many in-built helpers for convenience.
