Navigation for dotNetTips.com - Security

After lots new coding and refactoring, dotNetTips.Utility 3.5 R2 is finally released! This assembly is much of the common code I have been writing for the past 9+ years all wrapped up in a nice package and easy to use. Here is just some of what is in the new version:

New Classes

• EmailTraceListener - Send emails when trace events happen (I suggest using filters here)!
• WebServiceTraceListener - Send trace events to a web service. I use this for logging events to a central back-end database!
• Lots of new Extension methods and classes:
• Color
• DateTime
• Decimal
• Entity Framework
• Image
• Nullable
• Xlement
• And more!
• GeoInfoHelper - Get geo location info based on IP address.
• And lots more!
  

The documentation, binary and source code can be downloaded from CodePlex.

Coming soon... .NET 4.0 version!
