Release Notes Version 1.0.0-preview

This is a preview version of NetX focused on exploring functionality, usage scenarios, and feasibility. While all commands have been tested, all error conditions have not been encountered.

Why netx

With the release of .NET 10 comes a powerful new feature to C#, dotnet run file. This capability in the new .NET build toolchain lets us run C# files directly from the dotnet run command. This means that we can easily execute functionality, using C#, in a manner very similar to writing scripts.

Of course there are still a number of differences, as C# even though extremely powerful is quite verbose in comparison to the needs of a script. This is obviously because it is designed primarily to be a language for building applications.

With the netx nuget and additional toolkit we make it easy for you to execute the most common script tasks by exposing those capabilities to you in a manner that can be easily leveraged for automation and general purpose scripting. netx offers the best of both worlds as you can seamlessly switch between top-down scripts and more sophisticated coding all in the same document.

Here is what a sample netx script looks like. Assuming this file was called dostuff.cs you can run this code and execute this functionality dotnet run dostuff.cs

//#:package NetX@1.0.0-preview
using static netx;

exec("dir");
exec("echo hello");
pwd();
cd("../../..");
rename("test.txt", "helloworld.txt");
list();
copy("bin", "test");
list();
pwd();
copy("program.cs", "c:/temp", true, "hello.cs");
pack("c:/temp", "temp.zip");
list();
unpack("temp.zip", "destination");
delete("temp.zip");
delete("destination");
delete("test");
