Little Known, Invaluable Methods and Properties in the .NET Framework Base Class Library

Published 24 May 05 04:32 PM | Scott Mitchell

I've decided to create a running article series on little known, but invaluable methods/properties in the .NET Framework BCL, starting with this week's 4Guys article enumerating some of the more handy methods for working with file paths. Over the coming weeks I'm planning on adding additional topics and associated methods/properties that don't get much press in the ASP.NET developer world. The next topics I'm planning on addressing are:

Working with Colors, and
Parsing Strings

In the mean time, I am interested in any suggestions you might have for such methods and properties and/or general categories. As Julia Lerman has said before in her presentations on ASP.NET topics, “There's more to .NET than System.Web.“ I couldn't agree more, and this ongoing article is an attempt to help highlight some of the more useful elements in the BCL that ASP.NET developers can benefit from.
