SHARED UTILS: Making C# Quick, Easy and Safe

Programs Should Not Be Redundant In Any Way

SOLID and DRY guidance declare that we should keep our C# code simple, narrow, and non-redundant. For instance, simple code like this:

var areSame = 
   string.Compare(mainStr, otherStr, CurrentCulture.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) == 0;

... is both ungainly and unnecessary. DRY does not refer to copying code like this, though it is certainly illegal:

var areSameCheckedAgainRedundantly = 
   string.Compare(mainStr, otherStr, CurrentCulture.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) == 0;

DRY means: no redundancy whatsoever, regardless of where it lurks. In this example, a parameter is redundant, and the check for 0 is both static (not a variable but also not even a constant!) and redundant. The fix is easy -- just use our SharedUtils extensions to code this quickly and safely:

using Com.MarcusTS.SharedUtils;

if (mainStr.isSameAs(otherStr))
{
}

If you are looking for "not same as", then use this:

using Com.MarcusTS.SharedUtils;

if (mainStr.isDifferentThan(otherStr))
{
}

SharedUtils provides similar comparison extensions for many C# types, including DateTime, numbers, and even IEnumerables!

SharedUtils also offers:

• A BetterObservableCollection that manages events more safely than in the C# version.
• A FlexibleStack that allows manipulation of a common stack.
• Reflection helpers
• Thread helpers,including a thread-safe Boolean
• Task helpers
• Numeric rounding
