将字符串的长度减少到toLength，并在缩短的字符串的末尾添加一个额外的字符串，以表示字符串被缩短(默认值…)

public static string Shorten(this string str, int toLength, string cutOffReplacement = " ...")
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(str) || str.Length <= toLength)
        return str;
    else
        return str.Remove(toLength) + cutOffReplacement;
}

我在我的Silverlight项目中使用这些:

public static void Show(this UIElement element)
{
    element.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
}

public static void Hide(this UIElement element)
{
    element.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
}

如果你有波斯语，并且必须用波斯语向用户显示数字:

static public string ToFaString         (this string value)
        {
            // 1728 , 1584
            string result = "";
            if (value != null)
            {
                char[] resChar = value.ToCharArray();
                for (int i = 0; i < resChar.Length; i++)
                {
                    if (resChar[i] >= '0' && resChar[i] <= '9')
                        result += (char)(resChar[i] + 1728);
                    else
                        result += resChar[i];
                }
            }
            return result;
        }

这些扩展方法异步调用事件。他们受到了StackOverflow的启发。

/// <summary>
/// Invoke an event asynchronously. Each subscriber to the event will be invoked on a separate thread.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="someEvent">The event to be invoked asynchronously.</param>
/// <param name="sender">The sender of the event.</param>
/// <param name="args">The args of the event.</param>
/// <typeparam name="TEventArgs">The type of <see cref="EventArgs"/> to be used with the event.</typeparam>
public static void InvokeAsync<TEventArgs>(this EventHandler<TEventArgs> someEvent, object sender, TEventArgs args)
    where TEventArgs : EventArgs
{
    if (someEvent == null)
    {
        return;
    }

    var eventListeners = someEvent.GetInvocationList();

    AsyncCallback endAsyncCallback = delegate(IAsyncResult iar)
    {
        var ar = iar as AsyncResult;
        if (ar == null)
        {
            return;
        }

        var invokedMethod = ar.AsyncDelegate as EventHandler<TEventArgs>;
        if (invokedMethod != null)
        {
            invokedMethod.EndInvoke(iar);
        }
    };

    foreach (EventHandler<TEventArgs> methodToInvoke in eventListeners)
    {
        methodToInvoke.BeginInvoke(sender, args, endAsyncCallback, null);
    }
}

/// <summary>
/// Invoke an event asynchronously. Each subscriber to the event will be invoked on a separate thread.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="someEvent">The event to be invoked asynchronously.</param>
/// <param name="sender">The sender of the event.</param>
/// <param name="args">The args of the event.</param>
public static void InvokeAsync(this EventHandler someEvent, object sender, EventArgs args)
{
    if (someEvent == null)
    {
        return;
    }

    var eventListeners = someEvent.GetInvocationList();

    AsyncCallback endAsyncCallback = delegate(IAsyncResult iar)
    {
        var ar = iar as AsyncResult;
        if (ar == null)
        {
            return;
        }

        var invokedMethod = ar.AsyncDelegate as EventHandler;
        if (invokedMethod != null)
        {
            invokedMethod.EndInvoke(iar);
        }
    };

    foreach (EventHandler methodToInvoke in eventListeners)
    {
        methodToInvoke.BeginInvoke(sender, args, endAsyncCallback, null);
    }
}

使用方法:

public class Foo
{
    public event EventHandler<EventArgs> Bar;

    public void OnBar()
    {
        Bar.InvokeAsync(this, EventArgs.Empty);
    }
}

请注意，在调用事件之前，您不必检查事件是否为空。例如:

EventHandler<EventArgs> handler = Bar;
if (handler != null)
{
    // Invoke the event
}

测试:

void Main()
{
    EventHandler<EventArgs> handler1 =
    delegate(object sender, EventArgs args)
    {
        // Simulate performing work in handler1
        Thread.Sleep(100);
        Console.WriteLine("Handled 1");
    };

    EventHandler<EventArgs> handler2 =
    delegate(object sender, EventArgs args)
    {
        // Simulate performing work in handler2
        Thread.Sleep(50);
        Console.WriteLine("Handled 2");
    };

    EventHandler<EventArgs> handler3 =
    delegate(object sender, EventArgs args)
    {
        // Simulate performing work in handler3
        Thread.Sleep(25);
        Console.WriteLine("Handled 3");
    };

    var foo = new Foo();
    foo.Bar += handler1;
    foo.Bar += handler2;
    foo.Bar += handler3;
    foo.OnBar();

    Console.WriteLine("Start executing important stuff");

    // Simulate performing some important stuff here, where we don't want to
    // wait around for the event handlers to finish executing
    Thread.Sleep(1000);

    Console.WriteLine("Finished executing important stuff");
}

调用事件将(通常)产生以下输出:

开始执行重要的事情 处理3 处理2 处理1 完成重要的任务

如果事件是同步调用的，它总是会产生这样的输出-并延迟“重要”内容的执行:

处理1 处理2 处理3 开始执行重要的事情 完成重要的任务

我最常用的扩展是一个可以格式化字节数组:

/// <summary>
/// Returns a string representation of a byte array.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="bytearray">The byte array to represent.</param>
/// <param name="subdivision">The number of elements per group,
/// or 0 to not restrict it. The default is 0.</param>
/// <param name="subsubdivision">The number of elements per line,
/// or 0 to not restrict it. The default is 0.</param>
/// <param name="divider">The string dividing the individual bytes. The default is " ".</param>
/// <param name="subdivider">The string dividing the groups. The default is "  ".</param>
/// <param name="subsubdivider">The string dividing the lines. The default is "\r\n".</param>
/// <param name="uppercase">Whether the representation is in uppercase hexadecimal.
/// The default is <see langword="true"/>.</param>
/// <param name="prebyte">The string to put before each byte. The default is an empty string.</param>
/// <param name="postbyte">The string to put after each byte. The default is an empty string.</param>
/// <returns>The string representation.</returns>
/// <exception cref="ArgumentNullException">
/// <paramref name="bytearray"/> is <see langword="null"/>.
/// </exception>
public static string ToArrayString(this byte[] bytearray,
    int subdivision = 0,
    int subsubdivision = 0,
    string divider = " ",
    string subdivider = "  ",
    string subsubdivider = "\r\n",
    bool uppercase = true,
    string prebyte = "",
    string postbyte = "")
{
    #region Contract
    if (bytearray == null)
        throw new ArgumentNullException("bytearray");
    #endregion

    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(
        bytearray.Length * (2 + divider.Length + prebyte.Length + postbyte.Length) +
        (subdivision > 0 ? (bytearray.Length / subdivision) * subdivider.Length : 0) +
        (subsubdivision > 0 ? (bytearray.Length / subsubdivision) * subsubdivider.Length : 0));
    int groupElements = (subdivision > 0 ? subdivision - 1 : -1);
    int lineElements = (subsubdivision > 0 ? subsubdivision - 1 : -1);
    for (long i = 0; i < bytearray.LongLength - 1; i++)
    {
        sb.Append(prebyte);
        sb.Append(String.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, (uppercase ? "{0:X2}" : "{0:x2}"), bytearray[i]));
        sb.Append(postbyte);

        if (lineElements == 0)
        {
            sb.Append(subsubdivider);
            groupElements = subdivision;
            lineElements = subsubdivision;
        }
        else if (groupElements == 0)
        {
            sb.Append(subdivider);
            groupElements = subdivision;
        }
        else
            sb.Append(divider);

        lineElements--;
        groupElements--;
    }
    sb.Append(prebyte);
    sb.Append(String.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, (uppercase ? "{0:X2}" : "{0:x2}"), bytearray[bytearray.LongLength - 1]));
    sb.Append(postbyte);

    return sb.ToString();
}

默认情况下，ToArrayString()只是将字节数组打印为由单个字节组成的长字符串。但是，ToArrayString(4,16)将字节分组为4个一组，一行16个字节，就像在您最喜欢的十六进制编辑器中一样。下面很好地格式化了字节数组，以便在c#代码中使用:

byte[] bytearray = new byte[]{ ... };
Console.Write(bytearray.ToArrayString(4, 16, ", ", ",   ", ",\r\n", true, "0x"));

这是我写的，所以你可以用Codeplex。

我最喜欢的是字符串上的IsLike()扩展。IsLike()匹配VB的Like操作符，当你不想写一个完整的正则表达式来解决你的问题时，它很方便。用法是这样的:

"abc".IsLike("a*"); // true
"Abc".IsLike("[A-Z][a-z][a-z]"); // true
"abc123".IsLike("*###"); // true
"hat".IsLike("?at"); // true
"joe".IsLike("[!aeiou]*"); // true

"joe".IsLike("?at"); // false
"joe".IsLike("[A-Z][a-z][a-z]"); // false

下面是代码

public static class StringEntentions {
    /// <summary>
    /// Indicates whether the current string matches the supplied wildcard pattern.  Behaves the same
    /// as VB's "Like" Operator.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="s">The string instance where the extension method is called</param>
    /// <param name="wildcardPattern">The wildcard pattern to match.  Syntax matches VB's Like operator.</param>
    /// <returns>true if the string matches the supplied pattern, false otherwise.</returns>
    /// <remarks>See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/swf8kaxw(v=VS.100).aspx</remarks>
    public static bool IsLike(this string s, string wildcardPattern) {
        if (s == null || String.IsNullOrEmpty(wildcardPattern)) return false;
        // turn into regex pattern, and match the whole string with ^$
        var regexPattern = "^" + Regex.Escape(wildcardPattern) + "$";

        // add support for ?, #, *, [], and [!]
        regexPattern = regexPattern.Replace(@"\[!", "[^")
                                   .Replace(@"\[", "[")
                                   .Replace(@"\]", "]")
                                   .Replace(@"\?", ".")
                                   .Replace(@"\*", ".*")
                                   .Replace(@"\#", @"\d");

        var result = false;
        try {
            result = Regex.IsMatch(s, regexPattern);
        }
        catch (ArgumentException ex) {
            throw new ArgumentException(String.Format("Invalid pattern: {0}", wildcardPattern), ex);
        }
        return result;
    }
}
