Writes a file in another thread.

static void WriteFile(string url, string contents, Encoding encoding)

Writes a file to the specified path.

static string GenerateRandomString()

static string Join<T>(this IEnumerable<T> iEnumerable, string separator)

Concatenates the members of a collection, using the specified separator between each member. This is a wrapper for the String.Join function.

static string AddDirectorySeparatorChar(this string path)

Adds a directory separator char to the end of a path if there is not one already.

static string MakePathSafe(this string path, char replacementChar = '\0')

Returns the string with all invalid path characters filtered.

static string MakeFileNameSafe(this string path, char replacementChar = '\0')

Returns the string with all invalid filename characters filtered.

static int Next(this RandomNumberGenerator r, int min, int max)

Returns the next value from the System.Security.Cryptography.RandomNumberGenerator.

static int Next(this RandomNumberGenerator r, int max) => Next(r, 0, max);

Returns the next value from the System.Security.Cryptography.RandomNumberGenerator.

static string GenerateRandomString(this Random r)

Generate a random string. Not cryptographically secure.

static string GenerateRandomString(this RandomNumberGenerator r)

Generate a cryptographically secure random string.

BExpansion.Collections

LoopedList<T>

Represents a strongly typed list of objects that can be indexed by index. The list appears to repeat infinitely (e.g. for a list of length 2, the zero-based index '2' will return the first value).

var looped = new BExpansion.Collections.LoopedList<string>();

looped.Add("test1");
looped.Add("test2");
looped.Add("test3");

Assert.AreEqual("test1", looped[0]);
Assert.AreEqual("test2", looped[1]);
Assert.AreEqual("test3", looped[2]);

Assert.AreEqual("test1", looped[3]);
Assert.AreEqual("test2", looped[4]);
Assert.AreEqual("test3", looped[5]);
