OneCore.Net 1.0.2

OneCore.Net Library

Overview

OneCore.Net is a lightweight core library for .NET that provides commands, events, observable collections, task utilities, and other foundational helpers to simplify application development.

Features

• ObservableObject: A base class implementing INotifyPropertyChanging and INotifyPropertyChanged.
• ValidatableObservableObject: A ObservableObject extended with the NotifyDataErrorInfo.
• DelegateCommand: An ICommand to connect a command to a delegate callback.
• AsyncDelegateCommand: An ICommand to connect a command to an async delegate callback.
• AsyncEventHandler: An async event handler.
• EventArgs: Event args in the style of tuples for quick and easy parameter forwarding.
• Extensions: Objects and collection extensions with useful features.
• GarbageTruck: A collector for IDisposables for an easy dispose of all.
• NameOf: Helper methods to stringify types including their namespaces and more.
• ObservableList: A custom ObservableCollection with all features from regular lists and fully boundable.
• ServiceLocator: A tiny helper to execute a resolve at any time if it cannot be passed on constructors.
• Tasks: Extensions on Tasks for start a task from a sync method with follow ups and other settings.
• Validation: Helper for an easy usage of INotifyDataErrorInfo.
• WorkingIndicator: A tiny helper object to see if an action is ongoing or already done.
