Phone 8
Humanizer
Lots of helper extensions to format BCL types to more readable strings (and reverse).
Just like any other library, I have concrete cases of use of some extensions and some others seems useless. I dream of possibility to choose which subsetI take from a nuget library. Splitting in multiple parts is boring to use. This must be mitigated by the fact that binary is small: 76 Ko plus localisations assemblies.
Humanizer includes an evolution of the excellent ByteSize.
Portable.Licensing
License made portable and free: Portable.Licensing. Run on a large set of platforms:
- .NET >= 4.0.3,
- Silverlight >= 4,
- Windows Phone >= 7.5,
- Windows Store Apps,
- Mono,
- Xamarin.iOS,
- Xamarin.Android,
- Xamarin.Mac,
- XBox 360.
Refit: Type-safe REST client
Refit: Type-safe REST client for:
- Xamarin.Android
- Xamarin.Mac
- Desktop .NET 4.5
- Windows Phone 8
- Silverlight 5
and also packaged as PCL (obviously :)). This library use Castle.DynamicProxy to generate proxy implementation from attributed interface and is Task/IObservable aware from the start.
Even if it’s an elegant way of avoid a lot of plumbing code, it’s double-edged. We must be sure to have all the possibilities included and some are always missing:
- Multipart requests
- Form posts
Next platform wil be Xamarin.iOS and Windows Store (WinRT).

Shorter way of writing Grid row and column definitions
A smart way of writting Row/Col definitions of a Grig in a compact format: use attached properties that accept a string format either for RowDefinitions/ColumsDefinitions separatly (*,Auto,2*) or for RowCol (same syntax with | separating Row first from Col next).
It’s for Windows Phone but could also be applied to WPF/Xaml: Shorter way of writing Grid row and column definitions | Toni codes .NET.
Edit: The same kind of solution have been provided by Thomas Levesque here [WPF] A simpler Grid using XAML attribute syntax (thank you Thomas for english version).

Great. Perhaps the next thing to try in a real project.
