Welcome to the Tungsten wiki!

This library is named after the element Tungsten. The symbol for Tungsten is W, so to make for quicker typing, the root namespace for Tungsten is W.

Please note that this documentation is a work in progress and incomplete.

Tungsten.ArrayMethods

• ArrayMethods - additional methods for arrays (Peek, Take, Trim, Append, Insert)

Tungsten.As

• AsExtensions - various extension methods to convert, compress and encrypt

Tungsten.CallResult

• CallResult - use as a return value to return true/false, an exception and custom data

Tungsten.Console

• ConsoleStringExtensions - several methods to write text to System.Console

Tungsten.Encryption

• RSAMethods - static methods for RSA encryption
• RSA - easily encrypt/decrypt data with RSA encryption

Tungsten.EventTemplate

• EventTemplate - an alternate method for exposing and using events

Tungsten.From

• FromExtensions - various extension methods to convert, decompress and decrypt

Tungsten.IO.Pipes

• PipeClient - a named pipe client class to make IPC easier (byte[] and Generics)
