Extension Methods
  NameDescription
Public Extension MethodCode exampleReportNotDisposedObject
Handle reporting of a not disposed object.

Using this pattern is a good practice to avoid code where disposable objects get never disposed.

Calling this method will raise the NotDisposedObject event if any event handler is attached; otherwise it will throw an InvalidOperationException if a debugger is attached. If the application does not run in a debugger and no event handler is attached, calling this method does nothing.

(Defined by Disposable.)
Public Extension MethodSafeCastT
Performs a cast from object to T, avoiding possible null violations if T is a value type.
(Defined by ObjectExtensions.)
