BizArk Toolkit is a container for different reusable things.

BizArkCore features:

• Simple but powerful command-line argument parsing. See Command-line Parsing.
• Console application with command-line parsing Console application with command-line parsing and validation
• Robust data-type conversion class. Handles many types of conversions that the built-in .Net conversion class cannot. See Data Type Conversions.
• WebHelper class, similar to the WebClient, but supports multiple-file uploads, setting the timeout to something other than the default, and allows customization of the request. See Web Helper.
• String templates allow you to used named arguments in a string instead of numeric place holders while still getting the formatting capabilities of String.Format. See String Templates.
• Data caching with built-in time-out and memory management.
• Simple class factory for replacing types with other types.
• Application object provides simplified access to the typical applicaion attributes, cache, and file utilities based on the application (temp directory, relative to app path, etc)
• A mime type map that can be used to get a mime type based on a file extension. This map defaults to the Apache Mime.Types file.
• Use embedded fonts or fonts from a file with FontUtil.
• Manage your database access using the Database class. It can return strongly typed values with the ExecuteScalar<T> functions and you can use the Select<T> method to map an IDataReader to an object.
• Many extension methods (over 160):
  • Array - Shrink, Convert, IndexOf, Contains, Copy
  • PropertyDescriptor - GetAttribute
  • Type - GetAttribute, Implements (checks if type implements an interface), IsDerivedFrom, Instantiate (creates a new instance of the type)
  • Assembly - GetAttribute
  • Object - GetAttribute, Convert, GetValue (gets a property value using reflection)
  • Size - Resize (proportional resize given max width and height)
  • Exception - GetDetails (full log of exception)
  • Image - Open (opens Image in default application), GetExtension (gets the appropriate file extension for an Image), Resize (proportionally resizes image)
  • String - Wrap (wraps a string based on a max char count), Lines (returns an array of strings delimited by newline), Words (returns an array of strings delimited by white space), F
  • Xml - Easily get and set values in an XmlDocument.
  • Web - Encode/decode html and url strings.
  • Format - Convenient methods for formatting numeric values, a shortcut for string.Format, and a shortcut for String Templates.
  • Data - Methods to get typed values from IDataReader, DataRow, and DataRowView. Uses ConvertEx to convert values if necessary.
