Planet Telex .Net Library

.Net Library

At Planet Telex many of us have been working with Microsoft’s .Net framework ever since its first release. During that period we've written many classes that are generally useful and evolved this library to enhance our productivity. However it is only recently that we've updated it for the .Net 3.5 framework and made it available open source on GitHub.

The library is comprised of 4 assemblies: PlanetTelex, PlanetTelex.Drawing, PlanetTelex.Web, and PlanetTelex.Web.Mvc. The first consists of many useful general operations that do not depend on the application context (i.e. web, desktop, service, etc.). The drawing assembly is a basic programmatic image editor, and is separated out because it has a dependency on EXIFextractor. The web assembly is for general web application use, while the MVC assembly is for only ASP.NET MVC applications.

Features
  • A large collection of RegEx patterns.
  • Easy image manipulation.
  • HTML extensions for MVC development.
  • An advanced URI parser.
  • Common enumerations and models.
  • Robust serialization helpers.
  • A generic paginated list.
  • An RSS writer.
  • An extensive string utility with extension methods.
  • A DateTime utility with extension methods.
  • Various collection utility methods and extensions.
  • Utilities for enums, networking, math, XML, and more.
  • Includes XML and HTML compiled documentation.
  • Unit test assemblies.
  • Strongly named and can be installed in the GAC.
  • Free and open source.
