I try to think of something to make usage of framework parts even better. I remembered the burnden of writing and XML file using the XmlWriter class. Loosing track of all the WriteStartXXX and WriteEndXXX in a method can be hard to fix and Visual Studio removing any indenting when reformatting is accidently executed doesn't help.I saw the Tracer class in http://csharptidbits.blogspot.com/2009/03/nice-xmlwriter-extender.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jacco)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784741889047536617.post-1005255545326010470Sat, 24 May 2008 20:33:00 +00002008-05-25T22:02:08.292-07:00case-insensitiveextension methodsIndexOfExtension methods in C# allow programmers to correct situations where .NET does not provide the easiest way to do things. Most of the times when I want to do a String.IndexOf, it is the case insensitive version I need. .NET defaults to the most sensitive version. In c# the following code is needed to perform such a call: if (str.IndexOf("test", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) >= 0) { ...http://csharptidbits.blogspot.com/2008/05/making-shortcuts-for-case-insensitive.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jacco)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784741889047536617.post-1401970740244896053Sat, 24 May 2008 12:18:00 +00002008-05-25T22:00:23.274-07:00extension methodsSubstringAlmost every time I use String.Substring() I have to do a few IndexOf calls to find the "startIndex" en "length" to use. This includes declaring local variables and verifying that the index found is not smaller than zero. This extension method solves these issues.
