相当于Python的Join方法:

/// <summary>
/// same as python 'join'
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">list type</typeparam>
/// <param name="separator">string separator </param>
/// <param name="list">list of objects to be ToString'd</param>
/// <returns>a concatenated list interleaved with separators</returns>
static public string Join<T>(this string separator, IEnumerable<T> list)
{
    var sb = new StringBuilder();
    bool first = true;

    foreach (T v in list)
    {
        if (!first)
            sb.Append(separator);
        first = false;

        if (v != null)
            sb.Append(v.ToString());
    }

    return sb.ToString();
}

ThrowIfArgumentIsNull是做空检查的好方法，我们都应该这样做。

public static class Extensions
{
    public static void ThrowIfArgumentIsNull<T>(this T obj, string parameterName) where T : class
    {
        if (obj == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(parameterName + " not allowed to be null");
    }
}

下面是使用它的方法，它适用于您的命名空间中的所有类或任何您使用该命名空间的地方。

internal class Test
{
    public Test(string input1)
    {
        input1.ThrowIfArgumentIsNull("input1");
    }
}

在CodePlex项目上使用这段代码是可以的。

public static class DictionaryExtensions
{
    public static Nullable<TValue> GetValueOrNull<TKey, TValue>(this Dictionary<TKey, TValue> dictionary, TKey key)
        where TValue : struct
    {
        TValue result;
        if (dictionary.TryGetValue(key, out result))
            return result;
        else
            return null;
    }
}

免费使用，只需在代码中提到我的名字(Janko Röbisch)。

在序列化和配置上，最好使用长DateTime，因此:

    public static readonly DateTime Epoch = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0);

    public static long ToUnixTimestamp(this DateTime dateTime)
    {
        return (long) (dateTime - Epoch).TotalSeconds;
    }

    public static long ToUnixUltraTimestamp(this DateTime dateTime)
    {
        return (long) (dateTime - Epoch).TotalMilliseconds;
    }

和向后

    public static DateTime ToDateTime(this long unixDateTime)
    {
        return Epoch.AddSeconds(unixDateTime);
    }

    public static DateTime ToDateTimeUltra(this long unixUltraDateTime)
    {
        return Epoch.AddMilliseconds(unixUltraDateTime);
    }

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

我发现下面的扩展方法非常有用:

public static T GetService<T>(this IServiceProvider provider)
{
    return (T)provider.GetService(typeof(T));
}

它使使用IServiceProvider接口变得更加容易。比较:

IProvideValueTarget target = (IProvideValueTarget)serviceProvider(typeof(IProvideValueTarget));

and

var target = serviceProvider.GetService<IProvideValueTarget>();
