BFramework

BFramework is the core library of the modern B-Arts software ecosystem for .NET applications.

It provides the shared base classes, data-access components, collections, conversions, formatting helpers, configuration tools, security utilities, logging, networking, reporting and general-purpose functions used by B-Arts applications and project templates.

Official documentation

The documentation published on the B-Arts website is the official technical reference for the package:

The documentation contains namespace and class indexes, public members, usage guidance, examples and frequently asked questions. Consult the document dedicated to the relevant class before proposing an implementation.

Main areas

BFramework includes functionality for:

  • base classes and generated B-Arts object models;
  • database access and command execution;
  • B-Arts lists, dictionaries and collections;
  • conversions through the BConvert classes;
  • number, date and value formatting through BGlobal and BStatics;
  • configuration and settings management;
  • encryption and security utilities;
  • file, CSV, BIFFile and binary-content handling;
  • logging, mail, networking and Web API support;
  • reflection, threading and general utilities;
  • Office-compatible output and reports.

The available namespaces and classes are listed in the BFramework reference.

B-Arts development conventions

When developing with BFramework:

  • prefer the functions and types already provided by BFramework over equivalent custom implementations;
  • use BConvert for conversions and casts where a suitable B-Arts conversion is available;
  • use the formatting functions exposed by BGlobal and BStatics;
  • consider the B-Arts list and dictionary classes before choosing standard collections;
  • follow the generated-class and partial-class rules documented for BStudio models;
  • do not assume undocumented behavior or signatures.

These conventions help keep applications consistent with generated B-Arts code and with the rest of the ecosystem.
