Steven Volckaert's Enterprise Library is a collection of .NET class libraries that contain reusable software components designed to assist software developers with writing less and semantically more meaningful code.
In practice, the class libraries extend on types available in the various namespaces of the Framework Class Library (FCL) (CoreFX for the .NET Standard 1.5 target). Therefore, it contains no application-specific code and has no depencencies to third-party .NET libraries or frameworks.
Steven Volckaert's Enterprise Library comprises a collection of class libraries.
| Assembly name | Description |
|---|---|
StevenVolckaert.Core |
Contains commonly used functions extending types defined in the System namespace. |
Enterprise Library is available on NuGet.
- StevenVolckaert.Core (.NETFramework 3.5, .NETFramework 4.5.2, .NETStandard 1.5)
- The library is built with modularity and separation of concerns in mind.
- Class libraries, namespaces and types are named in accordance with the .NET Framework Design Guidelines.
One of the frameworks the library targets is .NET Framework 3.5, which is not installed by default on
Windows 8, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. Instead, you need to install the framework manually.
Installing the .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 explains how to do this.
Using this method didn't work for me on Windows 10, but I managed to install .NET Framework 3.5 using the
DISM.exe tool. See Can't install .NET 3.5 on Windows 10 on
StackExchange for more information.
Alternatively, you can remove the .NET Framework 3.5 build target: Simply remove it from the project.json.
