对于Winform控件:

/// <summary>
/// Returns whether the function is being executed during design time in Visual Studio.
/// </summary>
public static bool IsDesignTime(this Control control)
{
    if (LicenseManager.UsageMode == LicenseUsageMode.Designtime)
    {
        return true;
    }

    if (control.Site != null && control.Site.DesignMode)
    {
        return true;
    }

    var parent = control.Parent;
    while (parent != null)
    {
        if (parent.Site != null && parent.Site.DesignMode)
        {
            return true;
        }
        parent = parent.Parent;
    }
    return false;
}

/// <summary>
/// Sets the DropDownWidth to ensure that no item's text is cut off.
/// </summary>
public static void SetDropDownWidth(this ComboBox comboBox)
{
    var g = comboBox.CreateGraphics();
    var font = comboBox.Font;
    float maxWidth = 0;

    foreach (var item in comboBox.Items)
    {
        maxWidth = Math.Max(maxWidth, g.MeasureString(item.ToString(), font).Width);
    }

    if (comboBox.Items.Count > comboBox.MaxDropDownItems)
    {
        maxWidth += SystemInformation.VerticalScrollBarWidth;
    }

    comboBox.DropDownWidth = Math.Max(comboBox.Width, Convert.ToInt32(maxWidth));
}

IsDesignTime用法:

public class SomeForm : Form
{
    public SomeForm()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        if (this.IsDesignTime())
        {
            return;
        }

        // Do something that makes the visual studio crash or hang if we're in design time,
        // but any other time executes just fine
    }
}

SetDropdownWidth用法:

ComboBox cbo = new ComboBox { Width = 50 };
cbo.Items.Add("Short");
cbo.Items.Add("A little longer");
cbo.Items.Add("Holy cow, this is a really, really long item. How in the world will it fit?");
cbo.SetDropDownWidth();

我忘了说，请随意在Codeplex上使用这些…

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" } });

类似于上面的字符串As和Is，但对所有对象都是全局的。

这很简单，但我经常使用这些方法来缓解拳击中的parens爆炸。

public static class ExtensionMethods_Object
{
    [DebuggerStepThrough()]
    public static bool Is<T>(this object item) where T : class
    {
        return item is T;
    }

    [DebuggerStepThrough()]
    public static bool IsNot<T>(this object item) where T : class
    {
        return !(item.Is<T>());
    }

    [DebuggerStepThrough()]
    public static T As<T>(this object item) where T : class
    {
        return item as T;
    }
}

我很高兴这段代码能在codeplex上使用，事实上它已经在使用了。

轻松序列化对象为XML:

public static string ToXml<T>(this T obj) where T : class
{
    XmlSerializer s = new XmlSerializer(obj.GetType());
    using (StringWriter writer = new StringWriter())
    {
        s.Serialize(writer, obj);
        return writer.ToString();
    }
}

"<root><child>foo</child</root>".ToXml<MyCustomType>();

字符串。格式的快捷方式:

public static class StringExtensions
{
    // Enable quick and more natural string.Format calls
    public static string F(this string s, params object[] args)
    {
        return string.Format(s, args);
    }
}

例子:

var s = "The co-ordinate is ({0}, {1})".F(point.X, point.Y);

要快速复制粘贴，请点击这里。

难道你不觉得输入“一些字符串”. f(“param”)而不是字符串更自然吗?格式(“一些字符串”，“参数”)?

想要一个更容易读懂的名字，试试下面的建议:

s = "Hello {0} world {1}!".Fmt("Stack", "Overflow");
s = "Hello {0} world {1}!".FormatBy("Stack", "Overflow");
s = "Hello {0} world {1}!".FormatWith("Stack", "Overflow");
s = "Hello {0} world {1}!".Display("Stack", "Overflow");
s = "Hello {0} world {1}!".With("Stack", "Overflow");
