Horseshoe.NET

A suite of .NET utilities with a dual purpose: simplify coding tasks and offer a variety of unique capabilities for developers. What this represents is a career's worth of collecting useful code snippets packaged as a NuGet library that any .NET developer can utilize.

A large portion of this code base is dedicated to replacing verbose and repetetive boilerplate code for such things as configuration, ADO.NET / ODP.NET database queries and web API calls with highly customizable single line code replacements.
