我在我的web项目中使用这些，主要是MVC。我为ViewData和TempData写了一些这样的代码

/// <summary>
/// Checks the Request.QueryString for the specified value and returns it, if none 
/// is found then the default value is returned instead
/// </summary>
public static T QueryValue<T>(this HtmlHelper helper, string param, T defaultValue) {
    object value = HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString[param] as object;
    if (value == null) { return defaultValue; }
    try {
        return (T)Convert.ChangeType(value, typeof(T));
    } catch (Exception) {
        return defaultValue;
    }
}

这样我就可以写……

<% if (Html.QueryValue("login", false)) { %>
    <div>Welcome Back!</div>

<% } else { %>
    <%-- Render the control or something --%>

<% } %>

我使用这个扩展方法通常与匿名类型，以获得一个字典ala ruby

public static Dictionary<string, object> ToDictionary(this object o)
{
    var dictionary = new Dictionary<string, object>();

    foreach (var propertyInfo in o.GetType().GetProperties())
    {
        if (propertyInfo.GetIndexParameters().Length == 0)
        {
            dictionary.Add(propertyInfo.Name, propertyInfo.GetValue(o, null));
        }
    }

    return dictionary;
}

你可以使用它

var dummy = new { color = "#000000", width = "100%", id = "myid" };
Dictionary<string, object> dict = dummy.ToDictionary();

用扩展的方法

public static void ForEach<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source, Action<T> action)
{
    foreach (T item in source)
    {
        action(item);
    }
}

你可以做到的

dummy.ToDictionary().ForEach((p) => Console.Write("{0}='{1}' ", p.Key, p.Value));

输出

Color ='#000000' width='100%' id='myid'

我写过无数的扩展方法，这里有几个我觉得特别有用的。请随意执行。

第一个是我最喜欢的，因为它可以代替:

Control c = this.FindControl("tbName");
if (c != null)
{
    // Do something with c
    customer.Name = ((TextBox)c).Text;
}

用这个:

TextBox c = this.FindControl<TextBox>("tbName");
customer.Name = c.Text;

设置默认字符串值:

string str = "";
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(str))
{
    str = "I'm empty!";
}

就变成:

str = str.Alternative("I'm empty!");

static string Format( this string str,
                    , params Expression<Func<string,object>>[] args)
{
    var parameters = args.ToDictionary
                        ( e=>string.Format("{{{0}}}",e.Parameters[0].Name)
                        , e=>e.Compile()(e.Parameters[0].Name));

    var sb = new StringBuilder(str);
    foreach(var kv in parameters)
    {
        sb.Replace( kv.Key
                  , kv.Value != null ? kv.Value.ToString() : "");
    }

    return sb.ToString();
}

有了上面的扩展，你可以这样写:

var str = "{foo} {bar} {baz}".Format(foo=>foo, bar=>2, baz=>new object());

你会得到"foo 2 System.Object"。

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();
}

一些我最好的方法扩展(我有很多!):

public static T ToEnum<T>(this string str) where T : struct
{
    return (T)Enum.Parse(typeof(T), str);
}

//DayOfWeek sunday =  "Sunday".ToEnum<DayOfWeek>();

public static string ToString<T>(this IEnumerable<T> collection, string separator)
{
    return ToString(collection, t => t.ToString(), separator);
}

public static string ToString<T>(this IEnumerable<T> collection, Func<T, string> stringElement, string separator)
{
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    foreach (var item in collection)
    {
        sb.Append(stringElement(item));
        sb.Append(separator);
    }
    return sb.ToString(0, Math.Max(0, sb.Length - separator.Length));  // quita el ultimo separador
}

//new []{1,2,3}.ToString(i=>i*2, ", ")  --> "2, 4, 6"
