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.Source - A fully inclusive source-only package.
• 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 - [TODO] Color abstractions.

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.
