Raisin.Core

Shared core utilities for .NET 8 desktop applications — file logging, atomic writes, credential protection, and process lifecycle management.

Features

  • SafeFile — Atomic file I/O via temp-file-and-replace, preventing corruption on crash or power loss
  • FileLogger — Rolling daily file logger that subscribes to Raisin.EventSystem events, with configurable retention and automatic cleanup
  • DpapiStringProtector — Windows DPAPI-based encryption for storing credentials and secrets per-user (implements IStringProtector)
  • AppPaths — Centralized application path management with support for portable and roaming (AppData) modes, including migration between the two
  • ParentProcessWatcher — Monitor a parent process lifetime via --parent-pid command-line argument and react when it exits
  • DoubleExtensions — Epsilon-based floating-point comparison (ApproxEquals) for layout and rendering calculations

Installation

dotnet add package Raisin.Core

Quick start

Atomic file writes

SafeFile.WriteAllText("config.json", jsonString);

Event-driven file logging

var events = new EventSystem();
var logger = new FileLogger(events, "logs/myapp.log", retentionDays: 30);

events.Log(this, "Application started", LogTarget.File, LogSeverity.Info);

Credential protection (Windows)

IStringProtector protector = new DpapiStringProtector();
string encrypted = protector.Protect("my-api-key");
string decrypted = protector.Unprotect(encrypted);

Application paths

AppPaths.Configure("MyApp");          // sets up %AppData%/MyApp
AppPaths.SetPortable(true);           // switch to app-local storage
string dataDir = AppPaths.DataDir;    // current data directory
