Omnifactotum

Omnifactotum is the ultimate solution for .NET developers who want to streamline their development process. It provides its own helper and functional classes and interfaces as well as the extension methods for the standard .NET types. Omnifactotum is compatible with the older and newer .NET versions. It's the perfect way to reduce errors and save time, allowing developers to focus on creating quality code.

Factotum is a Latin word literally meaning "do everything", that is, a handyman or Jack-of-all-trades.

Dealing with Compatibility Issues

Due to certain inconsistencies between .NET Standard 2.0, .NET Framework 4.*, and .NET Core 2.x, you may need to apply one or more workarounds as described below when using Omnifactotum with your projects compiled for .NET Standard 2.0 or .NET Core 2.x -or- a mix of .NET Standard 2.0 and/or .NET Core 2.x and/or .NET Framework 4.x:

Omnifactotum's Class or Method	Workaround
System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair	Use Omnifactotum.OmnifactotumKeyValuePair.
OmnifactotumCollectionExtensions.ToHashSet(...)	Use static method invocation instead of extension method invocation. That is: OmnifactotumCollectionExtensions.ToHashSet(collection) instead of collection.ToHashSet().
OmnifactotumDictionaryExtensions.GetValueOrDefault	Use static method invocation instead of extension method invocation. That is: OmnifactotumDictionaryExtensions.GetValueOrDefault(dictionary) instead of dictionary.GetValueOrDefault().
