让我们把你的优秀和最喜欢的扩展方法列一个列表。

要求是必须发布完整的代码,以及如何使用它的示例和解释。

基于对这个主题的高度兴趣,我在Codeplex上建立了一个名为extensionoverflow的开源项目。

简明扼要地提出事件:

public static void Raise(this EventHandler handler, object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (handler != null)
    {
        handler(sender, e);
    }
}

public static void Raise<T>(this EventHandler<T> handler, object sender, T e) where T : EventArgs
{
    if (handler != null)
    {
        handler(sender, e);
    }
}

用法:

public event EventHandler Bar;

public void Foo()
{
    Bar.Raise(this, EventArgs.Empty);
}

这里有一些关于潜在线程安全问题的讨论。从。net 4开始,上面的表单是线程安全的,但如果使用旧版本,则需要重新排列和一些锁。

一般的尝试:

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var z = 0;
        var a = 0.AsDefaultFor(() => 1 / z);
        Console.WriteLine(a);
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

public static class TryExtensions
{
    public static T AsDefaultFor<T>(this T @this, Func<T> operation)
    {
        try
        {
            return operation();
        }
        catch
        {
            return @this;
        }
    }
}

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>
    /// <param name="provider">Format provider used during the type conversion.</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>
    /// <remarks>
    /// If an error occurs while converting the specified value to the requested type, the exception is caught and the default is returned. It is strongly recommended you
    /// 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

ASP。NET中,我使用这些扩展httpessionstate来加载会话中的对象。 它允许您以干净的方式加载会话对象,如果它们不存在,则将创建和初始化它们。 我使用两个扩展方法,如下所示:

private bool CreateMode;
private MyClass SomeClass;

protected override void OnInit (EventArgs e)
{
    CreateMode = Session.GetSessionValue<bool> ("someKey1", () => true);
    SomeClass = Session.GetSessionClass<MyClass> ("someKey2", () => new MyClass () 
    { 
       MyProperty = 123 
    });
}

下面是扩展类:

public static class SessionExtensions    
{
    public delegate object UponCreate ();
    public static T GetSessionClass<T> (this HttpSessionState session, 
       string key, UponCreate uponCreate) where T : class
    {
        if (null == session[key])
        {
            var item = uponCreate () as T;
            session[key] = item;
            return item;
        }
        return session[key] as T;
    }
    public static T GetSessionValue<T> (this HttpSessionState session, 
       string key, UponCreate uponCreate) where T : struct
    {
        if (null == session[key])
        {
            var item = uponCreate();
            session[key] = item;
            return (T)item;
        }
        return (T)session[key];
    }
}

在我的MiscUtil项目中有各种扩展方法(完整的源代码在那里可用-我不打算在这里重复它)。我最喜欢的,其中一些涉及其他类(如范围):

日期和时间——主要用于单元测试。我不确定我会在生产中使用它们:)

var birthday = 19.June(1976);
var workingDay = 7.Hours() + 30.Minutes();

范围和步进——非常感谢Marc Gravell的运算符使这成为可能:

var evenNaturals = 2.To(int.MaxValue).Step(2);
var daysSinceBirth = birthday.To(DateTime.Today).Step(1.Days());

比较:

var myComparer = ProjectionComparer.Create(Person p => p.Name);
var next = myComparer.ThenBy(p => p.Age);
var reversed = myComparer.Reverse();

参数检查:

x.ThrowIfNull("x");

LINQ to XML应用于匿名类型(或其他具有适当属性的类型):

// <Name>Jon</Name><Age>32</Age>
new { Name="Jon", Age=32}.ToXElements();
// Name="Jon" Age="32" (as XAttributes, obviously)
new { Name="Jon", Age=32}.ToXAttributes()

Push LINQ -在这里解释太长了,但是可以搜索一下。

我总是使用格式,希望与StringBuilder的新行,所以下面这个非常简单的扩展节省了几行代码:

public static class Extensions
{
    public static void AppendLine(this StringBuilder builder,string format, params object[] args)
    {
        builder.AppendLine(string.Format(format, args));
    }
}

替代方案是StringBuilder中带\n或Environment.NewLine的AppendFormat。
