This is mindblowing insanely cool Mark. Great job! Great Post. Thanks for sharing your code!! Great post and very relevant. Proud to call you a colleague buddy! Super awesome stuff! Can't wait to see how we can apply this to our client work and open up all sorts of new capabilities in Sitecore.

-Chris That’s some amazing stuff Mark! Hope I can clear up some time to play around with it and contribute!

As a follow up to my Sitecore Util Classes post, I randomly did a search through the Sitecore 6.4.1 kernel for Manager and Helper classes and as it turns out this time I hit a gold mine. Like my previous article I'll only touch on them briefly because there's just too many to go into any real depth but I wanted to at least put it out on the internets to raise a little awareness on these hidden gems in Sitecore. I left out any Interfaces, Abstract classes or classes without any public methods. In total I found 55 manager classes and 15 helper classes.
