Vanara.Core NuGet Package

This library includes shared methods, structures and constants for use throughout the Vanara assemblies. Think of it as windows.h with some useful extensions. It includes:

• Extension methods for working with enumerated types (enum), FILETIME, and method and property extractions via reflection
• Extension and helper methods to marshaling structures arrays and strings
• SafeHandle based classes for working with memory allocated via CoTaskMem, HGlobal, or Local calls that handles packing and extracting arrays, structures and raw memory
• Safe pinning of objects in memory
• Memory stream based on marshaled memory

What is Vanara?
