Need assistance while coding?

As a .NET developer, no matter what level of expertise, you'll often find yourself looking for a simple way of getting things done, and this is not always the case with a generic framework. A solution could be to create a new class library with helper methods for reusability to simplify your coding, but with the added overhead of extra maintenance and deployment, and you loosing focus on your core application. You could also download one of the many free supplemental .NET frameworks, but often with the downside of a high learning curve - often because they simply do not follow the logical namespace of the .NET framework itself.

Cuemon .NET Framework Additions

If you like the structure of the .NET platform, then the Cuemon .NET Framework Additions might just be that extra solution you have been looking for! With these assemblies I have aimed to accomplish at least two things; simplify the tedious work that is always present when coding towards a generic framework, and implementing some core- and utility classes for you to enjoy.

The absolute core of these assemblies are the Cuemon.dll (assisting the System.dll) assembly and the Cuemon.Xml.dll (assisting the System.Xml.dll) assembly. This combination was carefully selected with basis in my background as a professional software architect/developer, where I repeatedly witness the strength that XML out-of-the-box applies to your application; whether this be for native Windows, the entangled Web or even the combination of both.

XML is the global language for applications, just like English is for the majority of the human kind, so all objects must be able to present themself as XML, with no (or close to no) performance penalty.

So with the power of XML, and the power of streamlining your everyday .NET needs, I will show the "magic" that Cuemon can provide for you and your projets.

This library is available free of charge and will be extended as need arises.

Highlights

• Take advantage of the Cuemon power now in your existing .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 projects; no requirements for .NET 3.0, .NET 3.5, .NET 4.0 or newer versions
• Low learning curve: the majority of the entire class library has been coded in accordance with the higly acclaimed Framework Design Guidelines: Conventions, Idioms, and Patterns for Reusable .NET Libraries; start coding and intuitively know how to use it
• Low learning curve: namespace definitions follows the one found in the System.* namespace; hence if you need to do some encoding work, just include the Cuemon.Text namespace (as you would with System.Text)
• Assistance: various utility classes throughout the namespaces, to help you minimize tedious work in different scenarios
• Work-In-Progress: the assemblies will be extended and refactored accordingly with demands from the expected community and myself
