A general purpose utility and helper library for .NET

What is it?
Every .NET application requires small, common and often repeated tasks. This library is a collection of those things that I commonly need on a regular basis and have compiled over the years.
It includes tools for:
Application Configuration
class to create code-first strongly typed configuration classes for your applicationsLightweight ADO.NET Data Access Layer
ideal for components or apps that need data access but don't need the bulk of Entity Framework or similar ORMGeneral Purpose Utility Classes:
Scheduler (for background processing)
HttpClient (HttpWebRequest wrapper)
HttpUtils (Simple REST client helpers)
SmptClientNative (SmtpClient Wrapper)
and much, much more.
It's worthwhile to browse through the source code or the documentation to find out the myriad of useful functionality that is available, all in a small single assembly.
This assembly is the base for most other West Wind libraries.
