What it is

Common.Utility is a comprehensive C# helper library (3.3MB codebase) that bundles 60+ utility classes for enterprise .NET development, covering database access (SqlHelper, DBHelper), encryption (DEncrypt), file operations (CSV, Excel, PDF, barcode generation), cloud integration (Aliyun OSS/Live), caching, and domain operations (Active Directory). It solves the repetitive boilerplate problem in C# projects by providing pre-built, tested helpers for common tasks. Flat utility namespace architecture: src/Common.Utility_EN/ contains 60+ independent helper folders (ADHelper/, AliyunLive/, BarCodeHelper/, CacheHelper/, DBHelper/, ExcelHelper/, etc.), each with 1–3 .cs files. No layering or…

Start here

Open these first:

• src/Common.Utility_EN/DBHelper/DbHelperSQL.cs — Core SQL Server database access layer; all database operations depend on this abstraction
• src/Common.Utility_EN/DEncrypt/DEncrypt.cs — Central encryption/decryption orchestrator; must understand before implementing security features
• src/Common.Utility_EN/CacheHelper/CacheHelper.cs — Application-wide caching abstraction; critical for performance and data consistency
• src/Common.Utility_EN/ConfigHelper/ConfigHelper.cs — Configuration management entry point; affects all utility initialization
• src/Common.Utility_EN/DataTableExtensions/DataTableExtensions.cs — Extension methods for DataTable operations; heavily used across data access patterns

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/laochiangx/Common.Utility.git
cd src/Common.Utility_EN
open Common.Utility.sln  # In Visual Studio 2015+ (v14, v15, or v16)
# Restore NuGet packages via Visual Studio Package Manager or:
dotnet restore

Daily commands:

Open src/Common.Utility_EN/Common.Utility.sln in Visual Studio 2015+ and build the solution. Individual helpers are static utility classes, not runnable as a service—integrate into your project by referencing the compil…

Key cautions & unknowns

• Stale — last commit 3y ago
• Concentrated ownership — top contributor handles 64% of recent commits
• No app.config or appsettings.json template visible—ConfigHelper.cs assumes specific keys exist (Aliyun credentials, database connection strings, Redis endpoints). External service credentials (Aliyun Access Key/Secret,…
• License evidence is incomplete or ambiguous.
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
