我使用的两种颜色扩展，主要用于控件开发:

public static class ColorExtensions
{
  // Gets a color that will be readable on top of a given background color
  public static Color GetForegroundColor(this Color input)
  {
    // Math taken from one of the replies to
    // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2241447/make-foregroundcolor-black-or-white-depending-on-background
    if (Math.Sqrt(input.R * input.R * .241 + input.G * input.G * .691 + input.B * input.B * .068) > 128)
      return Color.Black;
    else
      return Color.White;
  }

  // Converts a given Color to gray
  public static Color ToGray(this Color input)
  {
    int g = (int)(input.R * .299) + (int)(input.G * .587) + (int)(input.B * .114);
    return Color.FromArgb(input.A, g, g, g);
  }
}

用法:

Color foreColor = someBackColor.GetForegroundColor();
Color grayColor = someBackColor.ToGray();

我发现自己一遍又一遍地这样做……

public static bool EqualsIgnoreCase(this string a, string b)
{
    return string.Equals(a, b, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
}

.．.然后是StartsWithIgnoreCase, EndsWithIgnoreCase和ContainsIgnoreCase。

这一次是为了使UriBuilder在处理查询参数时更加友好。

    /// <summary>
    /// Adds the specified query parameter to the URI builder.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="builder">The builder.</param>
    /// <param name="parameterName">Name of the parameter.</param>
    /// <param name="value">The URI escaped value.</param>
    /// <returns>The final full query string.</returns>
    public static string AddQueryParam(this UriBuilder builder, string parameterName, string value)
    {
        if (parameterName == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("parameterName");

        if (parameterName.Length == 0)
            throw new ArgumentException("The parameter name is empty.");

        if (value == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("value");

        if (value.Length == 0)
            throw new ArgumentException("The value is empty.");

        if (builder.Query.Length == 0)
        {
            builder.Query = String.Concat(parameterName, "=", value);
        }
        else if
            (builder.Query.Contains(String.Concat("&", parameterName, "="))
            || builder.Query.Contains(String.Concat("?", parameterName, "=")))
        {
            throw new InvalidOperationException(String.Format("The parameter {0} already exists.", parameterName));
        }
        else
        {
            builder.Query = String.Concat(builder.Query.Substring(1), "&", parameterName, "=", value);
        }

        return builder.Query;
    }

IEnumerable < >洗牌

我用Fisher-Yates算法实现了一个shuffle函数。

通过使用yield return和将代码分解为两个函数，它实现了适当的参数验证和延迟执行。(谢谢丹，在我的第一个版本中指出了这个缺陷)

static public IEnumerable<T> Shuffle<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source)
{
    if (source == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("source");

    return ShuffleIterator(source);
}

static private IEnumerable<T> ShuffleIterator<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source)
{
    T[] array = source.ToArray();
    Random rnd = new Random();          
    for (int n = array.Length; n > 1;)
    {
        int k = rnd.Next(n--); // 0 <= k < n

        //Swap items
        if (n != k)
        {
            T tmp = array[k];
            array[k] = array[n];
            array[n] = tmp;
        }
    }

    foreach (var item in array) yield return item;
}

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…

简单但比“可枚举”更好。范围”,恕我直言:

/// <summary>
/// Replace "Enumerable.Range(n)" with "n.Range()":
/// </summary>
/// <param name="n">iterations</param>
/// <returns>0..n-1</returns>
public static IEnumerable<int> Range(this int n)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        yield return i;
}
