public static class ComparableExtensions
{
  public static bool Between<T>(this T actual, T lower, T upper) where T : IComparable<T>
  {
    return actual.CompareTo(lower) >= 0 && actual.CompareTo(upper) < 0;
  }
}

例子:

if (myNumber.Between(3,7))
{
  // ....
}

在将表单输入放入数据库之前解析表单输入时，这些扩展方法对我来说非常有用

public static int? ToInt(this string input) 
{
    int val;
    if (int.TryParse(input, out val))
        return val;
    return null;
}

public static DateTime? ToDate(this string input)
{
    DateTime val;
    if (DateTime.TryParse(input, out val))
        return val;
    return null;
}

public static decimal? ToDecimal(this string input)
{
    decimal val;
    if (decimal.TryParse(input, out val))
        return val;
    return null;
}

这一次是为了使UriBuilder在处理查询参数时更加友好。

    /// <summary>
    /// Adds the specified query parameter to the URI builder.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="builder">The builder.</param>
    /// <param name="parameterName">Name of the parameter.</param>
    /// <param name="value">The URI escaped value.</param>
    /// <returns>The final full query string.</returns>
    public static string AddQueryParam(this UriBuilder builder, string parameterName, string value)
    {
        if (parameterName == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("parameterName");

        if (parameterName.Length == 0)
            throw new ArgumentException("The parameter name is empty.");

        if (value == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("value");

        if (value.Length == 0)
            throw new ArgumentException("The value is empty.");

        if (builder.Query.Length == 0)
        {
            builder.Query = String.Concat(parameterName, "=", value);
        }
        else if
            (builder.Query.Contains(String.Concat("&", parameterName, "="))
            || builder.Query.Contains(String.Concat("?", parameterName, "=")))
        {
            throw new InvalidOperationException(String.Format("The parameter {0} already exists.", parameterName));
        }
        else
        {
            builder.Query = String.Concat(builder.Query.Substring(1), "&", parameterName, "=", value);
        }

        return builder.Query;
    }

我很失望，. net框架更倾向于将文件和目录表示为字符串而不是对象，而且FileInfo和DirectoryInfo类型并不像我希望的那样强大。因此，我开始根据需要编写流畅的扩展方法，例如:

public static FileInfo SetExtension(this FileInfo fileInfo, string extension)
{
    return new FileInfo(Path.ChangeExtension(fileInfo.FullName, extension));
}

public static FileInfo SetDirectory(this FileInfo fileInfo, string directory)
{
    return new FileInfo(Path.Combine(directory, fileInfo.Name));
}

是的，你可以把这个放进codeplex

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。
