ConvertLabelToUrl Convert the string to a URL format.
FormatList Formats a list to "w, x, y and z" or "x and y" or "x" format.
FromIsoDateParts Converts ISO date parts to a TimeSpan. Not entirely accurate, as it assumes all months are 30 days and all years are 365 days, but it is a good approximation for many use cases.

GetAmountOfDigitsInNumber Retrieves the amount of digits in a number.
GetDefaultValue Returns the default value of a type during runtime.
GetInterfaceProperties returns all properties of a type

GetTypeOrUnderlying(Type) Returns type, or the underlying type if it's a Nullable type.
