For example: Microsoft.SharePoint.Client client = new Microsoft.SharePoint.Client("https://blog.cjvandyk.com"); client.ExecutingWebRequest += ClientContext_ExecutingWebRequest; client.Set("HeaderDecoration", "NONISV|Crayveon|MyApp/1.0"); This allows the creation of the extension property "HeaderDecoration" which can be changed as needed. Later in the delegate method we refer back to the extension property value thus: private void ClientContext_ExecutingWebRequest(object sender, WebRequestEventArgs e) { e.WebRequestExecutor.WebRequest.UserAgent = (string)e.Get("HeaderDecoration"); } NOTE: We did not have to access the ClientContext class in order to retrieve the "HeaderDecoration" value since the extension was done against the System.Object class. As such, any object can be used to retrieve the extension property value, as long as you know the key value under which the property was stored and you know the type to which the returned value needs to be cast. A derived override method for Get() and Set() can be defined using specific class objects if finer controls is needed.

GetNthPrimeAsync()

Get the Nth prime number using multi threading and asynchronous processing. It will serialize the list of discovered prime numbers to file in order to eliminate duplicate calculation of prime numbers. Use Universal.PrimeStatePath to override the path where the discovered list of prime numbers is saved. For example: Extensions.Universal.GetNthPrime(1000) will return the 1000th prime number - 7919.

ValidateNoNulls()

Makes quick work of null validating all parameters you pass to it. This method takes a variable number of parameters and validates that all parameters are not null. If a parameter is found to be null, a ArgumentNullException is thrown. For example: void MyMethod(string str, double dbl, MyClass cls) { Universal.ValidateNoNulls(str, dbl, cls);  ...Your code here...  } You do not have to pass all parameters, but can instead do this:  void MyMethod(string str, double dbl, MyClass cls)  {  Universal.ValidateNoNulls(str, cls); ...Your code here... } where we chose NOT to validate the double dbl in this case.
