如果有Unix时间戳和ISO 8601格式的日期和时间就太好了。大量用于网站和休息服务。

我在我的Facebook图书馆里使用它。你可以找到源代码http://github.com/prabirshrestha/FacebookSharp/blob/master/src/FacebookSharp.Core/FacebookUtils/DateUtils.cs

private static readonly DateTime EPOCH = DateTime.SpecifyKind(new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0),DateTimeKind.Utc);

public static DateTime FromUnixTimestamp(long timestamp)
{
    return EPOCH.AddSeconds(timestamp);
}

public static long ToUnixTimestamp(DateTime date)
{
    TimeSpan diff = date.ToUniversalTime() - EPOCH;
    return (long)diff.TotalSeconds;
}

public static DateTime FromIso8601FormattedDateTime(string iso8601DateTime){
    return DateTime.ParseExact(iso8601DateTime, "o", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
}

public static string ToIso8601FormattedDateTime(DateTime dateTime)
{
    return dateTime.ToString("o");
}

请随意在codeplex项目中使用。

Sql server有~2000个参数的限制，如果你有10k个id并想要与它们连接的记录，这是一个痛苦。我写了这些方法，接受批量id列表，并像这样调用:

List<Order> orders = dataContext.Orders.FetchByIds(
  orderIdChunks,
  list => row => list.Contains(row.OrderId)
);

List<Customer> customers = dataContext.Orders.FetchByIds(
  orderIdChunks,
  list => row => list.Contains(row.OrderId),
  row => row.Customer
);

public static List<ResultType> FetchByIds<RecordType, ResultType>(
    this IQueryable<RecordType> querySource,
    List<List<int>> IdChunks,
    Func<List<int>, Expression<Func<RecordType, bool>>> filterExpressionGenerator,
    Expression<Func<RecordType, ResultType>> projectionExpression
    ) where RecordType : class
{
    List<ResultType> result = new List<ResultType>();
    foreach (List<int> chunk in IdChunks)
    {
        Expression<Func<RecordType, bool>> filterExpression =
            filterExpressionGenerator(chunk);

        IQueryable<ResultType> query = querySource
            .Where(filterExpression)
            .Select(projectionExpression);

        List<ResultType> rows = query.ToList();
        result.AddRange(rows);
    }

    return result;
}

public static List<RecordType> FetchByIds<RecordType>(
    this IQueryable<RecordType> querySource,
    List<List<int>> IdChunks,
    Func<List<int>, Expression<Func<RecordType, bool>>> filterExpressionGenerator
    ) where RecordType : class
{
    Expression<Func<RecordType, RecordType>> identity = r => r;

    return FetchByIds(
        querySource,
        IdChunks,
        filterExpressionGenerator,
        identity
        );
}

这些有用吗?

public static bool CoinToss(this Random rng)
{
    return rng.Next(2) == 0;
}

public static T OneOf<T>(this Random rng, params T[] things)
{
    return things[rng.Next(things.Length)];
}

Random rand;
bool luckyDay = rand.CoinToss();
string babyName = rand.OneOf("John", "George", "Radio XBR74 ROCKS!");

我发现这个方法很有用

public static IEnumerable<T> EmptyIfNull<T>(this IEnumerable<T> pSeq)
{
    return pSeq ?? Enumerable.Empty<T>();
}

它在调用代码中删除空检查。现在你可以

MyList.EmptyIfNull().Where(....)

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。

在单元测试中很有用:

public static IList<T> Clone<T>(this IList<T> list) where T : ICloneable
{
    var ret = new List<T>(list.Count);
    foreach (var item in list)
        ret.Add((T)item.Clone());

    // done
    return ret;
}

像TWith2Sugars这样的一系列，交替缩短语法:

public static long? ToNullableInt64(this string val)
{
    long ret;
    return Int64.TryParse(val, out ret) ? ret : new long?();
}

最后，在BCL中是否已经有一些东西做了下面的事情?

public static void Split<T>(this T[] array, 
    Func<T,bool> determinator, 
    IList<T> onTrue, 
    IList<T> onFalse)
{
    if (onTrue == null)
        onTrue = new List<T>();
    else
        onTrue.Clear();

    if (onFalse == null)
        onFalse = new List<T>();
    else
        onFalse.Clear();

    if (determinator == null)
        return;

    foreach (var item in array)
    {
        if (determinator(item))
            onTrue.Add(item);
        else
            onFalse.Add(item);
    }
}
