Tools

Small static helpers: dates, path strings, enums.

DateTimeTools

Min / Max of two DateTime values (later / earlier).

using Mane.DotNet;

DateTime start = DateTimeTools.Min(a, b);
DateTime end = DateTimeTools.Max(a, b);

PathTools

RemoveLastComponent strips the last path segment and keeps / vs \ as written. Unlike System.IO.Path on Windows, it does not rewrite separators.

Trailing separators are trimmed first. A root / or \ is kept. No separator in the string → empty string. Null throws.

PathTools.RemoveLastComponent("Assets/Foo/Bar.cs"); // Assets/Foo
PathTools.RemoveLastComponent(@"C:\Game\Data\");    // C:\Game
PathTools.RemoveLastComponent("/");                 // /

EnumTools

foreach (DamageType t in EnumTools.GetValues<DamageType>())
{
    if (t.IsObsolete())
        continue;
}

DamageType parsed = "2".ToIntEnum<DamageType>(); // unnamed ints allowed

if ("2".TryParseToIntEnum(out DamageType named, DamageType.None))
    Apply(named);

• GetValues<T>() — all enum values.
• IsObsolete() — [Obsolete] on the named field. Combined flags with no matching field name → false. Null throws.
• ToIntEnum<T>(string) — int.Parse then convert. Unnamed values are OK. Bad input throws.
• TryParseToIntEnum<T> — succeeds only for a defined member (Enum.IsDefined), for any underlying type (byte, long, …). Values that only fit after wrapping (for example 257 for a byte enum) fail. Otherwise returns defaultValue.
