简单但比“可枚举”更好。范围”,恕我直言:

/// <summary>
/// Replace "Enumerable.Range(n)" with "n.Range()":
/// </summary>
/// <param name="n">iterations</param>
/// <returns>0..n-1</returns>
public static IEnumerable<int> Range(this int n)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        yield return i;
}

无论如何，把它放在codeplex项目中。

将对象序列化/反序列化为XML:

/// <summary>Serializes an object of type T in to an xml string</summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">Any class type</typeparam>
/// <param name="obj">Object to serialize</param>
/// <returns>A string that represents Xml, empty otherwise</returns>
public static string XmlSerialize<T>(this T obj) where T : class, new()
{
    if (obj == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("obj");

    var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
    using (var writer = new StringWriter())
    {
        serializer.Serialize(writer, obj);
        return writer.ToString();
    }
}

/// <summary>Deserializes an xml string in to an object of Type T</summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">Any class type</typeparam>
/// <param name="xml">Xml as string to deserialize from</param>
/// <returns>A new object of type T is successful, null if failed</returns>
public static T XmlDeserialize<T>(this string xml) where T : class, new()
{
    if (xml == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("xml");

    var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
    using (var reader = new StringReader(xml))
    {
        try { return (T)serializer.Deserialize(reader); }
        catch { return null; } // Could not be deserialized to this type.
    }
}

我们有一个部署工具可以在不同环境之间进行部署。由于文件可以标记为修改，但实际上没有不同，我想出了这个:

/// <summary>
/// Compares the files to see if they are different. 
/// First checks file size
/// Then modified if the file is larger than the specified size
/// Then compares the bytes
/// </summary>
/// <param name="file1">The source file</param>
/// <param name="file2">The destination file</param>
/// <param name="mb">Skip the smart check if the file is larger than this many megabytes. Default is 10.</param>
/// <returns></returns>
public static bool IsDifferentThan(this FileInfo file1, FileInfo file2, int mb = 10)
{
  var ret = false;

  // different size is a different file
  if(file1.Length != file2.Length) return true;

  // if the file times are different and the file is bigger than 10mb flag it for updating
  if(file1.LastWriteTimeUtc > file2.LastWriteTimeUtc && file1.Length > ((mb*1024)*1024)) return true;

  var f1 = File.ReadAllBytes(file1.FullName);
  var f2 = File.ReadAllBytes(file2.FullName);

  // loop through backwards because if they are different
  // it is more likely that the last few bytes will be different
  // than the first few
  for(var i = file1.Length - 1; i > 0; i--)
  {
    if(f1[i] != f2[i])
    {
      ret = true;
      break;
    }
  }

  return ret;
}

我已经实现了一个扩展方法包(在http://foop.codeplex.com/上可用)，其中一些是我日常使用的:

// the most beloved extension method for me is Pipe:
<%= variable.Pipe(x => this.SomeFunction(x)).Pipe(y =>
{
    ...;
    return this.SomeOtherFunction(y);
}) %>

var d = 28.December(2009); // some extension methods for creating DateTime
DateTime justDatePart = d.JustDate();
TimeSpan justTimePart = d.JustTime();
var nextTime = d.Add(5.Hours());

using(StreamReader reader = new StreamReader("lines-of-data-file-for-example")) {
    ...
    // for reading streams line by line and usable in LINQ
    var query = from line in reader.Lines(); 
                where line.Contains(_today)
                select new { Parts = PartsOf(line), Time = _now };
}

500.Sleep();

XmlSerialize and XmlDeserialize

IsNull and IsNotNull

IfTrue, IfFalse and Iff:
true.IfTrue(() => Console.WriteLine("it is true then!");

IfNull and IfNotNull

字符串。As<T>，可用于将字符串值转换为某种类型(主要用于支持IConvertable的原语和类型)。工作伟大的空类型，甚至枚举!

public static partial class StringExtensions
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Converts the string to the specified type, using the default value configured for the type.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">Type the string will be converted to. The type must implement IConvertable.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="original">The original string.</param>
    /// <returns>The converted value.</returns>
    public static T As<T>(this String original)
    {
        return As(original, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture,
                  default(T));
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Converts the string to the specified type, using the default value configured for the type.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">Type the string will be converted to.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="original">The original string.</param>
    /// <param name="defaultValue">The default value to use in case the original string is null or empty, or can't be converted.</param>
    /// <returns>The converted value.</returns>
    public static T As<T>(this String original, T defaultValue)
    {
        return As(original, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, defaultValue);
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Converts the string to the specified type, using the default value configured for the type.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">Type the string will be converted to.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="original">The original string.</param>
    /// <param name="provider">Format provider used during the type conversion.</param>
    /// <returns>The converted value.</returns>
    public static T As<T>(this String original, IFormatProvider provider)
    {
        return As(original, provider, default(T));
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Converts the string to the specified type.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">Type the string will be converted to.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="original">The original string.</param>

    /// do NOT use this method if it is important that conversion failures are not swallowed up.
    ///
    /// This method is intended to be used to convert string values to primatives, not for parsing, converting, or deserializing complex types.
    /// </remarks>
    public static T As<T>(this String original, IFormatProvider provider,
                          T defaultValue)
    {
        T result;
        Type type = typeof (T);

        if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(original)) result = defaultValue;
        else
        {
            // need to get the underlying type if T is Nullable<>.

            if (type.IsNullableType())
            {
                type = Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(type);
            }

            try
            {
                // ChangeType doesn't work properly on Enums
                result = type.IsEnum
                             ? (T) Enum.Parse(type, original, true)
                             : (T) Convert.ChangeType(original, type, provider);
            }
            catch // HACK: what can we do to minimize or avoid raising exceptions as part of normal operation? custom string parsing (regex?) for well-known types? it would be best to know if you can convert to the desired type before you attempt to do so.
            {
                result = defaultValue;
            }
        }

        return result;
    }
}

这依赖于Type的另一个简单扩展:

/// <summary>
/// Extension methods for <see cref="Type"/>.
/// </summary>
public static class TypeExtensions
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Returns whether or not the specified type is <see cref="Nullable{T}"/>.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="type">A <see cref="Type"/>.</param>
    /// <returns>True if the specified type is <see cref="Nullable{T}"/>; otherwise, false.</returns>
    /// <remarks>Use <see cref="Nullable.GetUnderlyingType"/> to access the underlying type.</remarks>
    public static bool IsNullableType(this Type type)
    {
        if (type == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("type");

        return type.IsGenericType && type.GetGenericTypeDefinition().Equals(typeof (Nullable<>));
    }
}

用法:

var someInt = "1".As<int>();
var someIntDefault = "bad value".As(1); // "bad value" won't convert, so the default value 1 is returned.
var someEnum = "Sunday".As<DayOfWeek>();
someEnum = "0".As<DayOfWeek>(); // returns Sunday
var someNullableEnum = "".As<DayOfWeek?>(null); // returns a null value since "" can't be converted

我经常用这个来表示可为空的数字。我帮助用0,NaN，无穷大…

public static bool IsNullOrDefault<T>(this T? o) 
    where T : struct
{
        return o == null || o.Value.Equals(default(T));
}
