This is nothing huge, just a .dll with some functions and methods i have been compiling together. If you have any suggestions or additions I could make to this .DLL then please feel free to reply with your ideas!
Extension Methods can be used as an extension for a variable, or a regular procedure call like this:
myVariable.myMethod([any other parameters])
OR
myMethod(myVariable, [any other parameters])
Download:
Here is a list of them all:
[String].IsOnlyNumeric
Extension method for Strings
Return Type: Boolean
Checks a String to see if it contains any characters other than numbers, including spaces and returns a Boolean value depending on the result.
Example:
Dim myString As String = "abcd1234"
MsgBox(myString.IsOnlyNumeric())
'This will print "False" as there non numerical characters in the String
Example 2:
Dim myString As String = "1234"
MsgBox(myString.IsOnlyNumeric())
'This will print "True" as there are only numbers in the string.
Example 3:
Dim myString As String = "1 2 3 4"
MsgBox(myString.IsOnlyNumeric)
'This will print "False" as there are spaces in the string.
[Boolean].Swap
Extension method for Booleans
Return Type: Boolean
Returns and changes the value of a Boolean from True --> False and vice-versa.
Example:
Dim myBool As Boolean = False
MsgBox(myBool)
'prints out "False"
MsgBox(myBool.Swap()) 'changes the value from False --> True
'prints out "True"
'the value of myBool was changed from False --> True instead of just returned.
MsgBox(myBool)
'Prints out "True"
[Integer].IsEven
Extension method for Integers
Return Type: Boolean
Returns a Boolean value depending on if the Integer is even or not.
Example:
Dim myInt As Integer = 2
MsgBox(myInt.IsEven)
'this will print "True"
myInt = 3
MsgBox(myInt.IsEven)
'this will print "False"
[Integer].IsOdd
Extension method for Integers
Return Type: Boolean
Returns a Boolean value depending on if the Integer is odd or not.
Example:
Dim myInt As Integer = 1
MsgBox(myInt.IsOdd)
'this will print "True"
myInt = 2
MsgBox(myInt.IsOdd)
'this will print "False"
[Form].LockFormSize
Locks the form size to the size set when creating the form or to the paramater-passed Drawing.Size, users cannot resize the form during runtime.
Example:
'form size is set to 400, 400 when designing form
LockFormSize(Form1)
'locks the form size to 400, 400 (the size set during the designing of the form) and prevents the user from re-sizing the form while the program is running
Example 2:
LockFormSize(Form1, New Drawing.Size(450, 450)) 'or Form1.LockFormSize(New Drawing.Size(450, 400))
'sets the form size to 450 x 450 ad stops the user from being able to change it while the program is running
[String].ReverseString
Extension method for Strings
Return Type: String
Returns a String with the characters backwards.
Example:
Dim myString As String = "Skittle"
MsgBox(myString.ReverseString)
'prints out "elttikS"
[String].getChar
Extension method for Strings
Return Type: Char
Returns 1 character from the specified String.
Example:
Dim myString As String = "Skittle"
MsgBox(myString.getChar(2)) 'or MsgBox(getChar(myString, 2)
'prints out "k"

Returns 1 character from the specified String.
So does testString[int] (C# Master Race! haha) ;- )
But still, these are useful and simple to use, +Rep.

Haha, I just have this in there as I'm pretty sure you can't do it in VB

I'm starting to move over to C# so I'll add some functions that will help with this language

Firstly, this is a really good post, I am glad you have taken time to post here to get the section more active!
I would like to add that I am only posting this to expand knowledge, not to critcize you in any way
[String].IsOnlyNumeric
[Boolean].Swap
[Integer].IsEven and [Integer].IsOdd
[Form].LockFormSize
[String].ReverseString
[String].getChar
As I said at the top, this is purely spreading the knowledge, please continue to add more and here is some Rep!!

[String].IsOnlyNumeric
IsNumeric(String) in VB
[String].All(Char.IsDigit); in C#
[String].All(Char.IsDigit); in C#
[Boolean].Swap
Not [Boolean] in VB
![Boolean] in C#
![Boolean] in C#
[Integer].IsEven and [Integer].IsOdd
[Integer] Mod 2 in VB
[Integer] % 2 in C#
(Put in an If Statement and see if 0 (for even) otherwise odd)
[Integer] % 2 in C#
(Put in an If Statement and see if 0 (for even) otherwise odd)
[Form].LockFormSize
[String].ReverseString
Can't fault this idea
[String].getChar
[String].Chars([zero based array index]) in VB
As vRice said [String][int] in C#

Thanks for the improvements I simply made these to ease programming by shortening the code slightly and for simplicity
Thanks!
