您可能已经知道扩展方法的一个有趣用法是作为一种mixin。一些扩展方法，比如XmlSerializable，几乎污染了所有类;这对大多数人来说没有意义，比如Thread和SqlConnection。

一些功能应该显式地混合到希望拥有它的类中。我对这种类型提出了一种新的表示法，以M为前缀。

XmlSerializable是这样的:

public interface MXmlSerializable { }
public static class XmlSerializable {
  public static string ToXml(this MXmlSerializable self) {
    if (self == null) throw new ArgumentNullException();
    var serializer = new XmlSerializer(self.GetType());
    using (var writer = new StringWriter()) {
      serializer.Serialize(writer, self);
      return writer.GetStringBuilder().ToString();
    }
  }
  public static T FromXml<T>(string xml) where T : MXmlSerializable {
    var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
    return (T)serializer.Deserialize(new StringReader(xml));
  }
}

然后一个类将其混合:

public class Customer : MXmlSerializable {
  public string Name { get; set; }
  public bool Preferred { get; set; }
}

用法很简单:

var customer = new Customer { 
  Name = "Guybrush Threepwood", 
  Preferred = true };
var xml = customer.ToXml();

如果您喜欢这个想法，您可以在项目中为有用的mixin创建一个新的名称空间。你怎么看?

哦，顺便说一下，我认为大多数扩展方法都应该显式地测试null。

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

避免参数的解析模式:

public static bool TryParseInt32(this string input, Action<int> action)
{
    int result;
    if (Int32.TryParse(input, out result))
    {
        action(result);
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

用法:

if (!textBox.Text.TryParseInt32(number => label.Text = SomeMathFunction(number)))
    label.Text = "Please enter a valid integer";

这可以放在codeplex项目中，如果需要的话

下面是一个扩展方法，它适应Rick Strahl的代码(以及注释)，使您不必在每次将字节数组或文本文件转换为字符串时猜测或阅读其字节顺序标记。

这个代码片段允许你简单地做:

byte[] buffer = File.ReadAllBytes(@"C:\file.txt");
string content = buffer.GetString();

如果你发现任何错误，请添加到评论中。请随意将它包含在Codeplex项目中。

public static class Extensions
{
    /// <summary>

    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="buffer">An array of bytes to convert</param>
    /// <returns>The byte as a string.</returns>
    public static string GetString(this byte[] buffer)
    {
        if (buffer == null || buffer.Length == 0)
            return "";

        // Ansi as default
        Encoding encoding = Encoding.Default;

            00 00 FE FF UTF-32, big-endian 
         */

        if (buffer[0] == 0xef && buffer[1] == 0xbb && buffer[2] == 0xbf)
            encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
        else if (buffer[0] == 0xfe && buffer[1] == 0xff)
            encoding = Encoding.Unicode;
        else if (buffer[0] == 0xfe && buffer[1] == 0xff)
            encoding = Encoding.BigEndianUnicode; // utf-16be
        else if (buffer[0] == 0 && buffer[1] == 0 && buffer[2] == 0xfe && buffer[3] == 0xff)
            encoding = Encoding.UTF32;
        else if (buffer[0] == 0x2b && buffer[1] == 0x2f && buffer[2] == 0x76)
            encoding = Encoding.UTF7;

        using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
        {
            stream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
            stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
            using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream, encoding))
            {
                return reader.ReadToEnd();
            }
        }
    }
}

这是一个扩展方法的ASP。Net MVC动作链接助手方法，该方法允许它使用控制器的授权属性来决定该链接是否应该从当前用户视图中启用、禁用或隐藏。 I使您不必在检查所有视图中的用户成员资格的“if”子句中包含受限制的操作。感谢Maarten Balliauw的想法和为我指明道路的代码位。
