mcintyre321/ValueOf

This system is a .NET library that provides a generic 'ValueOf' type for safe value validation and equality checking. It supports case-insensitive equality, string representation, and exception-free validation via a TryFrom pattern. The codebase includes comprehensive unit tests and is built for compatibility with modern Visual Studio and .NET Framework/Standard versions.

The Visual Studio solution file has been updated to target Visual Studio 17 (version 17.0.32112.339) and includes a generated solution GUID. This change ensures compatibility with modern versions of Visual Studio and provides a unique identifier for the solution.

(repo-wide) · low confidence

The ValueOf class now includes a TryFrom method that performs validation without throwing exceptions, allowing callers to check validity safely. Additionally, value equality operators (== and !=) have been added, and the implicit conversion operator has been removed to prevent accidental type coercion. The ToString method has also been overridden to return the underlying value's string representation.

ValueOf · medium confidence

Added tests for case-insensitive equality, ToString, and TryValidate behavior. The new tests verify that the ValueOf class correctly implements case-insensitive equality and hash code generation, returns the underlying value's string representation via ToString, and supports a TryFrom pattern that returns a boolean and an out parameter for validation without throwing exceptions.

ValueOf.Tests · high confidence

The project has been updated to support .NET Framework 4.8 and .NET Standard 2.0, replacing previous targets of .NET Framework 4.6.2 and .NET Core 1.1. Additionally, the test project has upgraded NUnit from version 3.6.1 to 3.13.2, updated System.ValueTuple to 4.5.0, and added the NUnit Console and NUnit3TestAdapter packages.
