SafetyNet

Free yourself from runtime errors of the .NET ecosystem

SafetyNet is a .NET assembly of extensions and libraries (created in F#) for the .NET ecosystem that helps resolve many bugs related to null reference and conversion errors at runtime.

Advantages:

• Write cleaner and more maintainable code with less effort.
• Nothing new to learn.
• Works with all .NET languages.
• Peform safe alternatives to common methods that would normally result in a runtime exception.
• Helpful for F# when interop with C# assemblies.
• Stop writing defensive code when you don't need to.
• Provides OO and Functional style implementations.
• Confidentially ship production code.

#Examples Cleaner and more maintainable code

Typical examples

instead of:

string[] myStrings = null;
var howMany = myStrings.Count();  // results in a runtime exception

or -

string[] myStrings = null;
var howMany = 0;
if(myStrings != null)
{
   howMany = myStrings.Count();  // defensive coding, lots of noise
}

using SafetyNet:

string[] myStrings = null;
var howMany = myStrings.SafeCount();  // returns 0 in case of null (no runtime exception)

What about C# 6+?

C# 6+ provides many great new features and ways to handle nulls like this:

List<string> myList = null;
var count = myList?.Count();  // Pure awesome, no runtime error

If you are able to utilize the newer framework, by all means use this new built-in syntax, however SafetyNet also provides complimentary and additional functionality for the latest .NET languages such as:
