 | Nice |
A static class of extension methods that convert a variety of types into "nicely" formatted strings.
Integers can be formatted as bit strings. A byte array can be formatted with the middle truncated.
Tab separated lines or arrays of objects can be formatted as tables made out of box characters.

public static class NiceFormatter
The NiceFormatter type exposes the following members.
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
  | Bits(Int32) | Converts an Int32 into a string of bits separated into byte groups. |
| Bits(Int64) | Converts an Int64 into a string of bits separated into byte groups. |
| Bits(UInt32) | Converts a UInt32 into a string of bits separated into byte groups. |
| Bits(UInt64) | Converts a UInt64 into a string of bits separated into byte groups. |
| Sample(Byte, Int32) | Converts a buffer into a nicely formatted string where leading and trailing bytes of a maximum length are displayed, but excess middle bytes are replaced with a count placeholder. It therefore displays a sample of a buffer of arbitrary length. The middle truncation is skipped if it is less than 8 bytes long. |
| Sample(String, Int32) | Converts a string into a nicely formatted string whre leading and trailing characters of a maximum length are displayed, but excess middle charactes are replaced with a count placeholder. It therefore displays a sample of a string of arbitrary length. The middle truncation is skipped if it is less than 8 characters long. |
| Tablize | Converts an enumerable set of objects (of the same type) into a mock table of rows and columns formatted using ASCII box characters. Each property in the incoming object type becomes a column of the mock table. The first row of the mock table is a header row containing the column property names. |
  | TablizeAdoTable | Converts DataTable rows into a mock display table of rows and columns formatted using ASCII box characters. For more information see the Tablize(IEnumerableObject, NullableInt32, NullableInt32) and TablizeObj(Object, NullableInt32) methods. |
| TablizeTsv | Converts an enumerable set of TSV (tab separated values) formatted lines into a mock table of rows and columns formatting using ASCII box characters. Each input line is expected to contain the same number of tab separated values. |
