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。

c#中Smalltalk样式的if/else。

您可以自由地在codeplex上使用您使用的任何许可证

using System;
namespace SmalltalkBooleanExtensionMethods
{

    public static class BooleanExtension
    {
        public static T ifTrue<T> (this bool aBoolean, Func<T> method)
        {
        if (aBoolean)
            return (T)method();
        else
            return default(T);
    }

        public static void ifTrue (this bool aBoolean, Action method)
        {
            if (aBoolean)
                method();
        }


        public static T ifFalse<T> (this bool aBoolean, Func<T> method)
        {
            if (!aBoolean)
                return (T)method();
            else
                return default(T);
        }

        public static void ifFalse (this bool aBoolean, Action method)
        {
            if (!aBoolean)
                method();
        }


        public static T ifTrueifFalse<T> (this Boolean aBoolean, Func<T> methodA, Func<T> methodB)
        {
            if (aBoolean)
                return (T)methodA();
            else
                return (T)methodB();
        }

        public static void ifTrueifFalse (this Boolean aBoolean, Action methodA, Action methodB)
        {
            if (aBoolean)
                methodA();
            else
                methodB();
        }

    }


}

你可能已经有了一个timesRepeat方法。

using System;

namespace SmalltalkBooleanExtensionMethods
{
    public static class IntExtension
    {
        public static int timesRepeat<T>(this int x, Func<T> method)
        {
            for (int i = x; i > 0; i--)
            {
                method();
            }

            return x;
        }

        public static int timesRepeat(this int x, Action method)
        {
            for (int i = x; i > 0; i--)
            {
                method();
            }

            return x;
        }
    }
}

            Assert.IsTrue(itWorks);

        }

        public void TestVoidMethodTimesRepeat()

            (5).timesRepeat(() => AddOneToi());
            Assert.AreEqual(i, 5);
        }

        public void SetItWorksBooleanToTrue()
        {
            itWorks = true;
        }

        public void SetItWorksBooleanToFalse()
        {
            itWorks = false;
        }

gitorious.org/cadenza是我所见过的一些最有用的扩展方法的完整库。

这是罗马数字的to-and-from。不常用,但可能很方便。用法:

if ("IV".IsValidRomanNumeral())
{
   // Do useful stuff with the number 4.
}

Console.WriteLine("MMMDCCCLXXXVIII".ParseRomanNumeral());
Console.WriteLine(3888.ToRomanNumeralString());

源:

    public static class RomanNumeralExtensions
    {
        private const int NumberOfRomanNumeralMaps = 13;

        private static readonly Dictionary<string, int> romanNumerals =
            new Dictionary<string, int>(NumberOfRomanNumeralMaps)
            {
                { "M", 1000 }, 
                { "CM", 900 }, 
                { "D", 500 }, 
                { "CD", 400 }, 
                { "C", 100 }, 
                { "XC", 90 }, 
                { "L", 50 }, 
                { "XL", 40 }, 
                { "X", 10 }, 
                { "IX", 9 }, 
                { "V", 5 }, 
                { "IV", 4 }, 
                { "I", 1 }
            };

        private static readonly Regex validRomanNumeral = new Regex(
            "^(?i:(?=[MDCLXVI])((M{0,3})((C[DM])|(D?C{0,3}))"
            + "?((X[LC])|(L?XX{0,2})|L)?((I[VX])|(V?(II{0,2}))|V)?))$", 
            RegexOptions.Compiled);

        public static bool IsValidRomanNumeral(this string value)
        {
            return validRomanNumeral.IsMatch(value);
        }

        public static int ParseRomanNumeral(this string value)
        {
            if (value == null)
            {
                throw new ArgumentNullException("value");
            }

            value = value.ToUpperInvariant().Trim();

            var length = value.Length;

            if ((length == 0) || !value.IsValidRomanNumeral())
            {
                throw new ArgumentException("Empty or invalid Roman numeral string.", "value");
            }

            var total = 0;
            var i = length;

            while (i > 0)
            {
                var digit = romanNumerals[value[--i].ToString()];

                if (i > 0)
                {
                    var previousDigit = romanNumerals[value[i - 1].ToString()];

                    if (previousDigit < digit)
                    {
                        digit -= previousDigit;
                        i--;
                    }
                }

                total += digit;
            }

            return total;
        }

        public static string ToRomanNumeralString(this int value)
        {
            const int MinValue = 1;
            const int MaxValue = 3999;

            if ((value < MinValue) || (value > MaxValue))
            {
                throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("value", value, "Argument out of Roman numeral range.");
            }

            const int MaxRomanNumeralLength = 15;
            var sb = new StringBuilder(MaxRomanNumeralLength);

            foreach (var pair in romanNumerals)
            {
                while (value / pair.Value > 0)
                {
                    sb.Append(pair.Key);
                    value -= pair.Value;
                }
            }

            return sb.ToString();
        }
    }

WhereIf()方法

var query = dc.Reviewer 
    .Where(r => r.FacilityID == facilityID) 
    .WhereIf(CheckBoxActive.Checked, r => r.IsActive); 

public static IEnumerable<TSource> WhereIf<TSource>(
    this IEnumerable<TSource> source,
    bool condition, Func<TSource, bool> predicate) 
{ 
    if (condition) 
        return source.Where(predicate); 
    else 
        return source; 
}

public static IQueryable<TSource> WhereIf<TSource>(
    this IQueryable<TSource> source,
    bool condition, Expression<Func<TSource, bool>> predicate) 
{ 
    if (condition) 
        return source.Where(predicate); 
    else 
        return source; 
}

我还为Where()扩展方法中的索引谓词添加了重载。为了更有趣,可以添加包含额外“else”谓词的风味。

从集合中加载默认设置的一种更简单的方法(在现实生活中,我使用它来填充来自任何来源的设置,包括命令行,ClickOnce URL参数等):

public static void LoadFrom(this ApplicationSettingsBase settings, NameValueCollection configuration)
{
    if (configuration != null)
        foreach (string key in configuration.AllKeys)
            if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(key))
                try
                {
                    settings[key] = configuration.Get(key);
                }
                catch (SettingsPropertyNotFoundException)
                {
                  // handle bad arguments as you wish
                }
}

例子:

Settings.Default.LoadFrom(new NameValueCollection() { { "Setting1", "Value1" }, { "Setting2", "Value2" } });
