DotNetExtras.Common

DotNetExtras.Common is a general-purpose .NET Core library that simplifies common operations frequently used in .NET applications.

Use the DotNetExtras.Common library to:

  • Generate fully qualified names for types, variables, and object properties (think of the nameof operator on steroids).
  • Retrieve application assembly information including company, version, and product details.
  • Retrieve error information from exceptions, including immediate and inner exceptions.
  • Serialize objects as JSON strings and deserialize JSON strings into objects with an option to mask or ignore specific properties.
  • Convert collections to comma-separated (or tokenized) string.
  • Compare complex object for equivalence (property by property).
  • Deep clone complex objects (including all nested properties).
  • Get and set object values using compound (nested) property names (create property hierarchy if necessary).
  • Convert strings to strongly-typed data types including dates, times, and collections.
  • Validate content formats such as JSON, HTML, and common patterns using built-in regular expressions.
  • Access enumeration metadata like descriptions, abbreviations, and custom attributes.
  • Check if objects are empty or determine type characteristics (primitive vs. complex).
  • Convert objects to dynamic types and perform advanced type introspection.
  • Escape special characters for LDAP queries and SQL statements.
