KGySoft.CoreLibraries Namespace


KGySoft.CoreLibraries Namespace	KGy SOFT Core Libraries Help

Contains general library classes. Some of them are just additions to the standard .NET classes providing better performance, such as the generic EnumTEnum and EnumComparerTEnum classes. Some others provide new functionality, such as the HiResTimer class. Additionally, contains many extensions to many classes including the Enum, Type, Random types as well as several primitive types and many other.

Classes

	Class	Description
	ArrayExtensions	Provides extension methods for arrays.
	ByteArrayExtensions	Provides extension methods for the byte[] type.
	CharExtensions	Provides extension methods for the char type.
	CollectionExtensions	Provides extension methods for the ICollectionT type.
	DateTimeExtensions	Provides extension methods for the DateTime type.
	DecimalExtensions	Provides extension methods for the decimal type.
	DelegateExtensions	Provides extension methods for delegates.
	DictionaryExtensions	Provides extension methods for the IDictionaryTKey, TValue type.
	DoubleExtensions	Provides extension methods for the double type.
	EnumTEnum	Generic helper class for the Enum class. Provides high performance solutions for already existing functionality in the Enum class along with some additional features.
	EnumComparerTEnum	Provides an efficient IEqualityComparerT and IComparerT implementation for Enum types. Can be used for example in DictionaryTKey, TValue, SortedListTKey, TValue or CacheTKey, TValue instances with enum key, or as a comparer for List<T>.Sort(IComparer<T>) method to sort enum elements. See the Remarks section for details.
	EnumerableExtensions	Provides extension methods for the IEnumerableT type.
	EnumExtensions	Provides extension methods for the Enum type.
	EventArgsT	Represents a simple event argument of type T.
	FastRandom	Represents a pseudo random number generator, which is functionally compatible with the Random class but is significantly faster than that. For cryptographically secure random numbers use the SecureRandom class instead.
	Files	Contains file-related methods.
	FloatExtensions	Provides extension methods for the float type.
	GenerateObjectSettings	Represents the settings for generating an object by the NextObject extension methods.
	HiResTimer	Represents a high resolution timer that allows precise timing even with sub-milliseconds intervals. The timer executes on a separated high priority thread.
	HiResTimerElapsedEventArgs	Provides data for the HiResTimer.Elapsed event.
	ListExtensions	Provides extension methods for the IListT type.
	ObjectExtensions	Provides extension methods for the Object type.
	RandomExtensions	Provides extension methods for the Random type. See the Examples section for an example.
	SpanExtensions	Provides extension methods for SpanT and ReadOnlySpanT types.
	StreamExtensions	Provides extension methods for the Stream type.
	StringExtensions	Provides extension methods for the string type.
	StringSegmentComparer	Represents a string comparison operation that uses specific case and culture-based or ordinal comparison rules allowing comparing strings by string, StringSegment and ReadOnlySpan<char> instances. See the static properties for more details.
	StringSegmentExtensions	Provides extension methods for the StringSegment type.
	ThreadSafeRandom	Represents a thread-safe wrapper for random number generators. You can use the static Create methods to create a customized instance (eg. you can wrap a SecureRandom instance to generate cryptographically safe random numbers in a thread-safe way), or just use the static Instance property for a fast shared instance (which uses FastRandom internally).
	TypeExtensions	Provides extension methods for the Type type.

Structures

	Structure	Description
	RangeT	Represents a range with lower and upper bounds.
	StringSegment	Represents a segment of a string. This type is similar to ReadOnlyMemory<char>/ReadOnlySpan<char> but StringSegment can be used in all platforms in the same way and is optimized for some dedicated string operations. To create an instance use the AsSegment extension method overloads or just cast a string instance to StringSegment. See the Remarks section for details.
	StringSegmentEnumerator	Enumerates the characters of a StringSegment.
	StringSegmentSplitOptions	Specifies options for applicable StringSegment.Split method overloads, such as whether to omit empty substrings from the returned array or trim whitespace from segments. See the Remarks section for details.

Delegates

	Delegate	Description
	Conversion	Represents a delegate for a type conversion. A conversion can be registered by the RegisterConversion extension method.
	ConversionAttempt	Represents a delegate for a type conversion attempt. A conversion can be registered by the RegisterConversion extension method.

Enumerations

	Enumeration	Description
	EnumFormattingOptions	Formatting options for the Enum<TEnum>.ToString(TEnum, EnumFormattingOptions, string) method.
	FloatScale	Represents the scaling strategy when generating random floating-point numbers.
	ObjectInitialization	Represents a strategy for initializing types when generating random objects.
	StringCreation	Represents a strategy for generating random strings.
	TypeNameKind	Represents name formatting options for the TypeExtensions.GetName methods.
