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。

其他回答

For adding multiple elements to a collection that doesn't have AddRange, e.g., collection.Add(item1, item2, itemN); static void Add<T>(this ICollection<T> coll, params T[] items) { foreach (var item in items) coll.Add(item); } The following is like string.Format() but with custom string representation of arguments, e.g., "{0} {1} {2}".Format<Custom>(c=>c.Name,"string",new object(),new Custom()) results in "string {System.Object} Custom1Name" static string Format<T>( this string format , Func<T,object> select , params object[] args) { for(int i=0; i < args.Length; ++i) { var x = args[i] as T; if (x != null) args[i] = select(x); } return string.Format(format, args); }

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 =

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

            var length = value.Length;

            }

            var total = 0;

            while (i > 0)

                var digit = romanNumerals[value[--i].ToString()];

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

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

字符串。As<T>,可用于将字符串值转换为某种类型(主要用于支持IConvertable的原语和类型)。工作伟大的空类型,甚至枚举!

public static partial class StringExtensions
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Converts the string to the specified type, using the default value configured for the type.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">Type the string will be converted to. The type must implement IConvertable.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="original">The original string.</param>

    public static T As<T>(this String original)
    {
        return As(original, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture,
                  default(T));
    }

    /// <summary>

    /// <returns>The converted value.</returns>
    public static T As<T>(this String original, T defaultValue)
    {
        return As(original, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, defaultValue);
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Converts the string to the specified type, using the default value configured for the type.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">Type the string will be converted to.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="original">The original string.</param>
    /// <param name="provider">Format provider used during the type conversion.</param>
    /// <returns>The converted value.</returns>
    public static T As<T>(this String original, IFormatProvider provider)
    {
        return As(original, provider, default(T));
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Converts the string to the specified type.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">Type the string will be converted to.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="original">The original string.</param>

    /// <returns>The converted value.</returns>
    /// <remarks>
    /// If an error occurs while converting the specified value to the requested type, the exception is caught and the default is returned. It is strongly recommended you
    /// do NOT use this method if it is important that conversion failures are not swallowed up.
    ///
    /// This method is intended to be used to convert string values to primatives, not for parsing, converting, or deserializing complex types.
    /// </remarks>
    public static T As<T>(this String original, IFormatProvider provider,
                          T defaultValue)
    {
        T result;
        Type type = typeof (T);

        if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(original)) result = defaultValue;
        else
        {
            // need to get the underlying type if T is Nullable<>.

            if (type.IsNullableType())
            {
                type = Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(type);
            }

            try
            {
                // ChangeType doesn't work properly on Enums
                result = type.IsEnum
                             ? (T) Enum.Parse(type, original, true)
                             : (T) Convert.ChangeType(original, type, provider);
            }
            catch // HACK: what can we do to minimize or avoid raising exceptions as part of normal operation? custom string parsing (regex?) for well-known types? it would be best to know if you can convert to the desired type before you attempt to do so.
            {
                result = defaultValue;
            }
        }

        return result;
    }
}

这依赖于Type的另一个简单扩展:

/// <summary>
/// Extension methods for <see cref="Type"/>.
/// </summary>
public static class TypeExtensions
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Returns whether or not the specified type is <see cref="Nullable{T}"/>.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="type">A <see cref="Type"/>.</param>
    /// <returns>True if the specified type is <see cref="Nullable{T}"/>; otherwise, false.</returns>
    /// <remarks>Use <see cref="Nullable.GetUnderlyingType"/> to access the underlying type.</remarks>
    public static bool IsNullableType(this Type type)
    {
        if (type == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("type");

        return type.IsGenericType && type.GetGenericTypeDefinition().Equals(typeof (Nullable<>));
    }
}

用法:

var someInt = "1".As<int>();
var someIntDefault = "bad value".As(1); // "bad value" won't convert, so the default value 1 is returned.
var someEnum = "Sunday".As<DayOfWeek>();
someEnum = "0".As<DayOfWeek>(); // returns Sunday
var someNullableEnum = "".As<DayOfWeek?>(null); // returns a null value since "" can't be converted

无论如何,把它放在codeplex项目中。

将对象序列化/反序列化为XML:

/// <summary>Serializes an object of type T in to an xml string</summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">Any class type</typeparam>
/// <param name="obj">Object to serialize</param>
/// <returns>A string that represents Xml, empty otherwise</returns>
public static string XmlSerialize<T>(this T obj) where T : class, new()
{
    if (obj == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("obj");

    var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
    using (var writer = new StringWriter())
    {
        serializer.Serialize(writer, obj);
        return writer.ToString();
    }
}

/// <summary>Deserializes an xml string in to an object of Type T</summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">Any class type</typeparam>
/// <param name="xml">Xml as string to deserialize from</param>
/// <returns>A new object of type T is successful, null if failed</returns>
public static T XmlDeserialize<T>(this string xml) where T : class, new()
{
    if (xml == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("xml");

    var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
    using (var reader = new StringReader(xml))
    {
        try { return (T)serializer.Deserialize(reader); }
        catch { return null; } // Could not be deserialized to this type.
    }
}

日期时间扩展

例子:

DateTime firstDayOfMonth = DateTime.Now.First();
DateTime lastdayOfMonth = DateTime.Now.Last();
DateTime lastFridayInMonth = DateTime.Now.Last(DayOfWeek.Friday);
DateTime nextFriday = DateTime.Now.Next(DayOfWeek.Friday);
DateTime lunchTime = DateTime.Now.SetTime(11, 30);
DateTime noonOnFriday = DateTime.Now.Next(DayOfWeek.Friday).Noon();
DateTime secondMondayOfMonth = DateTime.Now.First(DayOfWeek.Monday).Next(DayOfWeek.Monday).Midnight();
