CSharpHacks

A repository to contain all of the C# Hacks you've ever thought of, anything that makes your coding life easier

In particular, I like nice, generic extension methods that will take wrap up tedious bits of code you need to write all the time.

Some examples of hacks included already:

Hacks for Specfic Types

• IDictionary - transform a dictionary into a look-up function with a default value
• Integer - TryParse & error check wrapped into a handy extension methods

Code Structure hacks

• Map - like a Select in LINQ, but applies to the whole array, not just an element at a time
• Alt - an array of functions, which will be tried, one after the other, until one gives a value
• Fork - process a single data item in multiple ways, then return all processed values to an aggregator function
• IfElse - Specify two functions and a condition, based on that condition either the first or second function will be executed

Please contribute anything you find useful. Our mission here is to save time when coding C# so we can spend a lot more time being lazy.

csharphacks's Issues

write a half-decent readme on the front page

write something more descriptive

take CultureInfo into consideration

double.Parse is taking the System CultureInfo into consideration. The GetNumbers-Method does not. The method always expects '.' as seperator.

Switch the '.' seperator in the regex to the actual CultureInfo-seperator

Make this available on Nuget

I'd like to put this on Nuget, need to investigate how to do it & then make the necessary arrangements

Add a new hack

This is a repository of awesome time-saving C# hacks. Please feel free to contribute your own.

better unit test coverage

write more detailed unit tests. Cover errors occuring and any bizarre situations I might not have considered
