这是我写的唯一一个我经常使用的扩展。 它使得用System.Net.Mail发送电子邮件更容易一些。

public static class MailExtension
{
    // GetEmailCreditial(out strServer) gets credentials from an XML file
    public static void Send(this MailMessage email)
    {
        string strServer = String.Empty;
        NetworkCredential credentials = GetEmailCreditial(out strServer);
        SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(strServer) { Credentials = credentials };
        client.Send(email);
    }

    public static void Send(this IEnumerable<MailMessage> emails)
    {
        string strServer = String.Empty;
        NetworkCredential credentials = GetEmailCreditial(out strServer);
        SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(strServer) { Credentials = credentials };
        foreach (MailMessage email in emails)
            client.Send(email);
    }
}

// Example of use: 
new MailMessage("info@myDomain.com","you@gmail.com","This is an important Subject", "Body goes here").Send();
//Assume email1,email2,email3 are MailMessage objects
new List<MailMessage>(){email1, email2, email}.Send();

让我恼火的是，LINQ给了我一个OrderBy，它接受一个实现iccomparer的类作为参数，但不支持传入一个简单的匿名比较器函数。我纠正了这一点。

这个类从你的比较器函数中创建一个IComparer…

/// <summary>
///     Creates an <see cref="IComparer{T}"/> instance for the given
///     delegate function.
/// </summary>
internal class ComparerFactory<T> : IComparer<T>
{
    public static IComparer<T> Create(Func<T, T, int> comparison)
    {
        return new ComparerFactory<T>(comparison);
    }

    private readonly Func<T, T, int> _comparison;

    private ComparerFactory(Func<T, T, int> comparison)
    {
        _comparison = comparison;
    }

    #region IComparer<T> Members

    public int Compare(T x, T y)
    {
        return _comparison(x, y);
    }

    #endregion
}

.．.这些扩展方法暴露了可枚举对象上的新OrderBy重载。我怀疑这适用于LINQ to SQL，但它适用于LINQ to Objects。

public static class EnumerableExtensions
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Sorts the elements of a sequence in ascending order by using a specified comparison delegate.
    /// </summary>
    public static IOrderedEnumerable<TSource> OrderBy<TSource, TKey>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, TKey> keySelector,
                                                                     Func<TKey, TKey, int> comparison)
    {
        var comparer = ComparerFactory<TKey>.Create(comparison);
        return source.OrderBy(keySelector, comparer);
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Sorts the elements of a sequence in descending order by using a specified comparison delegate.
    /// </summary>
    public static IOrderedEnumerable<TSource> OrderByDescending<TSource, TKey>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, TKey> keySelector,
                                                                               Func<TKey, TKey, int> comparison)
    {
        var comparer = ComparerFactory<TKey>.Create(comparison);
        return source.OrderByDescending(keySelector, comparer);
    }
}

如果你愿意，可以把这个放在codeplex上。

我发现这个方法很有用

public static IEnumerable<T> EmptyIfNull<T>(this IEnumerable<T> pSeq)
{
    return pSeq ?? Enumerable.Empty<T>();
}

它在调用代码中删除空检查。现在你可以

MyList.EmptyIfNull().Where(....)

与时间跨度相关的扩展，如:

public static TimeSpan Seconds(this int seconds)
{
  return TimeSpan.FromSeconds(seconds);
}

public static TimeSpan Minutes(this int minutes)
{
  return TimeSpan.FromMinutes(minutes);
}

允许使用:

1.Seconds()
20.Minutes()

像这样的锁定扩展:

public static IDisposable GetReadLock(this ReaderWriterLockSlim slimLock)
{
  slimLock.EnterReadLock();
  return new DisposableAction(slimLock.ExitReadLock);
}

public static IDisposable GetWriteLock(this ReaderWriterLockSlim slimLock)
{
  slimLock.EnterWriteLock();
  return new DisposableAction(slimLock.ExitWriteLock);
}

public static IDisposable GetUpgradeableReadLock(this ReaderWriterLockSlim slimLock)
{
  slimLock.EnterUpgradeableReadLock();
  return new DisposableAction(slimLock.ExitUpgradeableReadLock);
}

允许使用像这样的锁:

using (lock.GetUpgradeableReadLock())
{
  // try read
  using (lock.GetWriteLock())
  {
    //do write
  }
}

还有许多来自Lokad共享图书馆的其他书籍

这个很有用:

    public static IEnumerable<TResult> Zip<TFirst, TSecond, TResult>(this IEnumerable<TFirst> first, IEnumerable<TSecond> second, Func<TFirst, TSecond, TResult> selector)
    {
        if (first == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("first");
        if (second == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("second");
        if (selector == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("selector");

        using (var enum1 = first.GetEnumerator())
        using (var enum2 = second.GetEnumerator())
        {
            while (enum1.MoveNext() && enum2.MoveNext())
            {
                yield return selector(enum1.Current, enum2.Current);
            }
        }
    }

它在。net 4.0中被添加到Enumerable类中，但是在3.5中使用它很方便。

例子:

var names = new[] { "Joe", "Jane", "Jack", "John" };
var ages = new[] { 42, 22, 18, 33 };

var persons = names.Zip(ages, (n, a) => new { Name = n, Age = a });

foreach (var p in persons)
{
    Console.WriteLine("{0} is {1} years old", p.Name, p.Age);
}
