This solution contains three .Net projects as follows:
- A collection of support helper library (NSG.Library.Helpers),
- Application configuration helpers,
- (NSG.Library.Helpers.Config.Framework),
- (NSG.Library.Helpers.Config.NetStandard),
- A simple in memory logging and logging interface (NSG.Library.Logger),
- An e-mailing utility (NSG.Library.EMail).
NSG.Library.Helpers is a collection of support helper (static) methods. The helper methods are in three classes as follows:
- Files and file system utilities,
- Operation system (OS) command execution.
- App setting configuration retrieval.
- JSON configuration retrieval, separated into appsettings and appsecrets.
NSG.Library.Logger is a simple in memory logging and logging interface. This library has a static singleton class handle to simplify using this utility. Because this is an interface other implementation can be created. I have SQL Server implementation in another solution. The following is an example of creating the singleton:
// Globally configure logging and replace default List-Logger
// with SQL-Logger.
NSG.Library.Logger.Log.Logger = new WebSrv.Models.SQLLogger(
ApplicationDbContext.Create(), "MyApplicationName");
The following is an example of logging an error:
Log.Logger.Log(LoggingLevel.Error, data.user.UserName,
MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod(), ex.Message, ex);
NSG.Library.EMail is an e-mailing utility class. This class wrappers the .Net MailMessage. This class mostly returns itself, therefore works fluently. This class allows three ways to send the e-mail message as follows:
- SMTP,
- Sendgrid,
- MailGun. Note that MailGun was not truly tested. Because the class wrappers the .Net MailMessage, no translation is necessarily when sending SMTP e-mail. The following is an example:
MailAddress _from = new MailAddress("testfrom@example.com", "Example From User");
string _subject = "Sending with Email is Fun";
string _text = "This is a test of the national broadcasting system's, mail service";
IEMail _mail = new EMail().From(_from).To("testto@example.com")
.Subject(_subject).Body(_text).Send();
Note: I used the nodejs fake-smtp-server to mock sending e-mail. It worked great. Globally download the npm package. For more information see fake-smtp-server.
NSG.Library_Tests is a project of unit tests for the three libraries. One can view the tests for an example in using the functions. Also, check the AppSetting in the app.config for various configuration setting.
The Sandcastle project files for creating HTML compiled help files.
The Wiki pages were initialy created by the CS2Wiki.awk scripts with the library's XML file, and again regenerated with cs2media_wiki.py. The cs2media_wiki.py script got me 90% of the way to creating the MediaWiki file. Make sure the text is flush left except for code. The mediwiki scripts have been moved here.
