                Extensions.dll supports all versions of .NET from 3.5 through 5.0
                Highlights are methods such as:
                Use .Save() and .Load() for easy state saving of any object in C#.
                Use .Retry() to easily handle 429 throttling errors in web calls.
                Use System.Timer class to quickly add stopwatch timing functionality.
                Use .IsPrime() to determine if a number is a prime number.
                Use .GetNthPrime() and .GetNthPrimeAsync to get the Nth prime number capable of calculating 10,000,000 primes/minute on an Intel Core i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00 GHz using 7 threads on 8 logical cores.
                Use .ReplaceTokens() to replace multiple strings in string dictionary style.
                Use .IsStrong() to validate strong passwords.
                Use .ToTimeZone() to quickly convert any given time to any given time zone.

     "https://blog.cjvandyk.com/sites/Rocks"

     RemoveExtraSpace()
     Trims leading and trailing white space and then removes all extra
     white space in the given string returning a single spaced result.

     will return
     "blog.cjvandyk.com rocks !"

     ReplaceTokens()
     Takes a given string object and replaces 1 to n tokens in the string
     with replacement tokens as defined in the given Dictionary of strings.

     Retry()
     Checks if a System.Net.WebException contains a "Retry-After" header.
     If it does, it sleeps the thread for that period (+ 60 seconds)
     before reattempting to HTTP call that caused the exception in the
     first place.  If no "Retry-After" header exist, the exception is
     simply rethrown.
     For example:
     System.Net.HttpWebRequest request ...
     Try
     {
     request.GetResponse();
     }
     Catch (System.Net.WebException ex)
     {
     ex.Retry(request);
     }

     Save()
     Language extension providing a universal method to all objects
     that allows them to be serialized to disk.
     Does NOT require the [Serializable] property on object.

     https://blog.cjvandyk.com/sites/Rocks
     'https://blog.cjvandyk.com/sites/Rocks'

     Singularize()
     Parses the given string removing multiples of a given character.
     For example:
     string searchMask = "***??abc*";
     searchMask.Singularize('*')
     will return
     "*??abc*"

     Return the smallest of two given values.
     For example:
     Smallest(23, 31)
     will return
     23

     Substring()
     Extends the ".Substring(startIndex)" and ".Substring(startIndex, length)"
     methods to the "System.Text.StringBuilder" class.
     For example:
     System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
     sb.Append("abc1abc2abc3abc4");

     RightOfIndex returns the "length" of characters to the RIGHT of the
     located index representing the "occurence"th match of the "index"
     string.
     For example:
     sb.Substring(5, "abc", Constants.SubstringType.RigthOfIndex, 0);
     sb.Substring(5, "abc", Constants.SubstringType.RigthOfIndex, 1);
     sb.Substring(5, "abc", Constants.SubstringType.RigthOfIndex, 2);
     sb.Substring(5, "abc", Constants.SubstringType.RigthOfIndex, 3);
     sb.Substring(5, "abc", Constants.SubstringType.RigthOfIndex, 4);
     will return

     1abc2
     2abc3
     3abc4
     4

     System.Timer class
     This class provides and easy way to time things like a stopwatch.
     .Start() starts the timer.
     .Stop() stops the timer.
     .Pause() pauses the timer.
     .Resume() resumes the timer.
     .Reset() resets the timer.
     For example:
     System.Timer timer = new System.Timer();
     timer.Start();
     DO STUFF
     System.TimeSpan howlong = timer.Stop();

     TimeStamp()
     Returns a string representing the current local date time stamp to
     either just the day or down to the millisecond.  Used for creating
     unique log file names.
     For example:
     TimeStamp()
     will return
     2021-03-01@06.01.02.003
     whereas
     TimeStamp(true)
     will return
     2021-03-01

     ToBinary()
     This method returns the given string represented in 1s and 0s as
     a binary result.
     For example:
     "This test".ToBinary()

     1010100 1101000 1101001 1110011 100000 1110100 1100101 1110011 1110100

     ToEnum()
     This method matches a given string to the given enum set and returns
     the matched enum.
     For example:
     enum testEnum { first, second, third };
     var testEnumResult = "first".ToEnum[testEnum]();
     Console.WriteLine(testEnumResult == testEnum.first);
     will return
     True

     ToMorseCode()
     Convert given System.String to its Morse code representation.
     Undefined characters will return in the format:

     will return
     "...---...[Undefined:[@]]"

     ToQueryString()
     Convert given Dictionary[string, string]
     into a querystring.

     dic1.Add("Parm2", "Val2");
     dic1.Add("Parm3", "Val3");
     Console.WriteLine(dic1.ToQueryString());

     will return
     1073741824
     1048576
     1.15292150460685E+18

     ToTimeZone()
     Convert given DateTime between different time zones with ease.
     For example:
     System.DateTime now = System.DateTime.UtcNow;
     now.ToTimeZone(
     Constants.TimeZone.UTC,
     Constants.TimeZone.EasternStandardTime));
     will return the current UTC time as Eastern time.

     TrimLength()
     Returns part of the given System.Text.StringBuilder object
     tuncated to the requested length minus the length of the
     suffix.
     If the string is null or empty, it returns said value.
     If the string is shorter than the requested length, it returns
     the whole string.
     For example:
     "The Extensions.cs NuGet package rocks!".TrimLength(20)
     will return "The Extensions.cs..." while
     "The Extensions.cs NuGet package rocks!".TrimLength(20, "")
     will return "The Extensions.cs Nu" and
     "The Extensions.cs NuGet package rocks!".TrimLength(20, ">>")
     will return "The Extensions.cs >>"

     Validate()
     Makes quick work of conducting multiple types of validations on all
     parameters.  It takes a parameter array of ErrorType and conducts
     the appropriate validation such as null checking, non-zero checking
     etc. against the parameter array passed.
     For example:
     Validate(Constants.ErrorTypeAll, amount, percent, years, frequency);
     will perform all defined error checks against the amount, percent,
     years and frequency parameters.

     TrimStart()
     Trims a given string rather than just a character, from the start of
     the target string.  The traditional Trim() only allowed char values
     to be trimmed.  TrimStart() solves that limitation in an easier to
     fashion that using Substring().
     For example:
     "https://blog.cjvandyk.com/".TrimStart("https://")
     will return
     "blog.cjvandyk.com"

     ValidateNoNulls()
     Makes quick work of null validating all parameters you pass to it.
     This method takes a variable number of parameters and validates that
     all parameters are not null.  If a parameter is found to be null, a
     ArgumentNullException is thrown.
     For example:
     void MyMethod(string str, double dbl, MyClass cls)
     {
     Universal.ValidateNoNulls(str, dbl, cls);
     ...Your code here...
     }
     You do not have to pass all parameters, but can instead do this:
     void MyMethod(string str, double dbl, MyClass cls)
     {
     Universal.ValidateNoNulls(str, cls);
     ...Your code here...
     }
     where we chose NOT to validate the double dbl in this case.

     Words()
     This method returns the number of words used in the given string
     object.
     For example:
     "This is my test".Words()
     will return 4 whereas
     "ThisIsMyTest".Words()
     will return 1.

     Wrn()
     Write a Warning message to active channels (console, event log, file)
     using the System.Logging class.
