Extended Methods for .NET

nK0de — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 20:18:33 GMT

Project Description

Developed in VB.NET, this DLL includes some functions I came across over the internet. Originally they were functions. I made some changes to suit my work and recreated them as Extended methods.

I will update it with new methods as I go along.
Big thanks out to programmers who came up with the original code.

Updated Release: nK0deExtendedMethods - 31-03-12 (Mar 31, 2012)

nK0de — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 19:25:21 GMT

Added a new string method (ReverseString).
Although VB.NET has a built-in method to reverse a string (strReverse), there is no such feature in C#. This added method resolves that issue.

To use it, download the DLL and add a reference to it. Make sure to import the Namespace to your project like this,

Imports nK0deExtendedMethods

Merge method (for Images)

This extended method combines two images in one Picturebox. You only have to pass the second image as a parameter.

Dim image1, image2 As Image

image1 = Image.FromFile("C:\Users\nK0de\Pictures\pic01.jpg")
image2 = Image.FromFile("C:\Users\nK0de\Pictures\pic02.jpg")

PictureBox1.Image = image1.Merge(image2)

Fit method (for Images)

This method re-sizes the image that's passed to a Picturebox to make it fit within the Picturebox. You have to pass the height and the width of the Picturebox as parameters.

Dim image1 As Image
Dim pH, pW As Integer

pH = PictureBox2.Height
pW = PictureBox2.Width

image1 = Image.FromFile("C:\Users\nK0de\Pictures\pic01.jpg")

PictureBox1.Image = image3.Fit(pH, pW)

IsEmail method (for Strings)

This method checks the passed string is a valid email address using a regex pattern and returns True is successful.

If IsEmail(TextBox1.Text) = True Then
    MessageBox.Show("Valid email address")
Else
    MessageBox.Show("Invalid email address")
End If

Center method (for Forms)

This method is useful when developing a MDI application and you have to center the child forms inside the parent form. In the event where the child form is invoked,

Dim f As Form = frmChild

frmChild.MdiParent = Me
frmChild.Show()
frmChild.Location = Center(f)

ReverseString method (for Strings)

This method is useful for C# developers in a situation which you have to reverse a string. VB.NET provides a built0in method to do this but C# doesn't.

Dim str As String = TextBox1.Text

Label1.Text = str.ReverseString()

Project Description

Developed in VB.NET, this DLL includes some functions I came across over the internet. Originally they were functions. I made some changes to suit my work and recreated them as Extended methods.
Currently includes two extension methods for the Image class (Merge, Fit), one extension method for the String class (IsEmail) and one extension method for the Forms class (Center).

I will update it with new methods as I go along.
