Yes with framework 3.5 you can create extension methods.

public static explicit operator WebAPI.UInt128(Base.UInt128 other) { ... }

public static class StringExtensions
{
  public static bool IsTrimmedNullOrEmpty(this string value)
  {
    bool returnValue = false;
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value) || value.Trim() == string.Empty)
      returnValue = true;
    return returnValue;
  }
}

string myString = " ";
if (myString.IsTrimmedNullOrEmpty())
{
  Console.WriteLine("This is an empty string");
}

if (string.IsTrimmedNullOrEmpty(myString)) { ... }

what does new is doing on the declaration of this function.

didn't realize that function was for doing that kind of parsing.

for (int i = 0; i < this.Controls.Count; i++ )<br />
{<br />
if (this.Controls[i] is TextBox)<br />
{<br />
this.Controls[i].Text = "";<br />

foreach (Control control in Controls)

 if (control is TextBox)

  TextBox textBox = control as TextBox;
  textBox.Text = string.Empty;
