The Gemstone Common Library organizes all Gemstone functionality for most any .NET coding.

This library includes helpful common classes like the following:

• BigEndian:

  • Defines a set of big-endian byte order interoperability functions.

• Bits:

  • Enum that represents bits in a signed or unsigned integer value.

• Encoding7Bit:

  • Defines 7-bit encoding functions.

• EventArgs<T>:

  • Represents a generic event arguments class.

• LittleEndian:

  • Defines a set of little-endian byte order interoperability functions.

• NtpTimeTag:

  • Represents a standard Network Time Protocol (NTP) timetag.

• Word:

  • Defines functions related to 16-bit words, 32-bit double-words and 64-bit quad-words.

• Units

  • Namesspace defines units, e.g., Angle, useful for common unit and SI conversions.

• UnixTimeTag:

  • Represents a standard Unix timetag.

• Many Extension Functions (all opt-in only by specific extension namespace):

  • ActionExtensions
