Glad you like them. :) It's good to sometimes to do those small things that make things a little bit nicer, some other examples Guid.TryParse, Version.TryParse, Enum.TryParse, all new for .NET 4.0.

They slipped in without any advertising that I saw: DirectoryInfo.EnumerateDirectories<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.directoryinfo.enumeratedirectories.aspx> DirectoryInfo.EnumerateFiles<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.directoryinfo.enumeratefiles.aspx> DirectoryInfo.EnumerateFileSystemInfos<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd383504.aspx> These solve the miserable old problem with previous versions where you would block while the collections of results were loaded. I'm going to rejig some code and apps right now to take advantage of this. Cheers, Greg
