Every good developer knows never to re-invent the wheel, especially if there is software out there that has been tested by others, and has an established track record. As a developer using the .NET framework I’ve found some of these libraries invaluable, so I’m sharing them for some of the other dev’s out there with a brief outline of how to use. Yedda Twitter Library.

As the site says its more of a wrapper for the Twitter API than an actual library, but none the less its an easy way to integrate with the service via a drop in dll. Here’s how to use it.
FileHelpers Library

It is a completely pluggable in system for error handling within your .NET app. It catches bot thrown and unhandled exceptions across the scope of your app, logs them, and allows you to browse the full stack trace, all without exposing the error to the users of your application. That’s useful for a number of reasons. Firstly you aren’t getting the performance hit of using debug=true within your application (which by the way you should never be using in a production environment anyway) – and it means you can still get to the bottom of little blips as and if they happen. Coolio. (more..)Read more: webdistortion
