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

/// <param name="original">The original string.</param>
/// <param name="defaultValue">The default value to use in case the original string is null or empty, or can't be converted.</param>
/// <returns>The converted value.</returns>
public static T As<T>(this String original, T defaultValue)
{
return As(original, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, defaultValue);
}
/// <summary>

public static T As<T>(this String original, IFormatProvider provider)
{
return As(original, provider, default(T));
}
/// <summary>

/// </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
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 =
new Dictionary<string, int>(NumberOfRomanNumeralMaps)
{
{ "M", 1000 },
{ "CM", 900 },
{ "D", 500 },
{ "CD", 400 },
{ "C", 100 },
{ "XC", 90 },
{ "L", 50 },
{ "XL", 40 },
{ "X", 10 },
{ "IX", 9 },
{ "V", 5 },
{ "IV", 4 },
{ "I", 1 }
};
private static readonly Regex validRomanNumeral = new Regex(
"^(?i:(?=[MDCLXVI])((M{0,3})((C[DM])|(D?C{0,3}))"
+ "?((X[LC])|(L?XX{0,2})|L)?((I[VX])|(V?(II{0,2}))|V)?))$",
RegexOptions.Compiled);
public static bool IsValidRomanNumeral(this string value)
{
return validRomanNumeral.IsMatch(value);
}
public static int ParseRomanNumeral(this string value)
{
if (value == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("value");
}
value = value.ToUpperInvariant().Trim();
var length = value.Length;
if ((length == 0) || !value.IsValidRomanNumeral())
{
throw new ArgumentException("Empty or invalid Roman numeral string.", "value");
}
var total = 0;
var i = length;
while (i > 0)
{
var digit = romanNumerals[value[--i].ToString()];
if (i > 0)
{
var previousDigit = romanNumerals[value[i - 1].ToString()];
if (previousDigit < digit)
{
digit -= previousDigit;
i--;
}
}
total += digit;
}
return total;
}
public static string ToRomanNumeralString(this int value)
{
const int MinValue = 1;
const int MaxValue = 3999;
if ((value < MinValue) || (value > MaxValue))
{
throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("value", value, "Argument out of Roman numeral range.");
}
const int MaxRomanNumeralLength = 15;
var sb = new StringBuilder(MaxRomanNumeralLength);
foreach (var pair in romanNumerals)
{
while (value / pair.Value > 0)
{
sb.Append(pair.Key);
value -= pair.Value;
}
}
return sb.ToString();
}
}
在序列化和配置上，最好使用长DateTime，因此:
public static readonly DateTime Epoch = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0);
public static long ToUnixTimestamp(this DateTime dateTime)
{
return (long) (dateTime - Epoch).TotalSeconds;
}
public static long ToUnixUltraTimestamp(this DateTime dateTime)
{
return (long) (dateTime - Epoch).TotalMilliseconds;
}
和向后
public static DateTime ToDateTime(this long unixDateTime)
{
return Epoch.AddSeconds(unixDateTime);
}
public static DateTime ToDateTimeUltra(this long unixUltraDateTime)
{
return Epoch.AddMilliseconds(unixUltraDateTime);
}
用于ienumables的ForEach
public static class FrameworkExtensions
{
// a map function
public static void ForEach<T>(this IEnumerable<T> @enum, Action<T> mapFunction)
{
foreach (var item in @enum) mapFunction(item);
}
}
天真的例子:
var buttons = GetListOfButtons() as IEnumerable<Button>;
// click all buttons
buttons.ForEach(b => b.Click());
酷的例子:
// no need to type the same assignment 3 times, just
// new[] up an array and use foreach + lambda
// everything is properly inferred by csc :-)
new { itemA, itemB, itemC }
.ForEach(item => {
item.Number = 1;
item.Str = "Hello World!";
});
注意:
这与Select不同，因为Select期望函数返回转换为另一个列表的内容。
ForEach只是允许您为每个项执行一些东西，而不需要任何转换/数据操作。
我这样做，所以我可以在一个更函数式的风格编程，我很惊讶，列表有一个ForEach，而IEnumerable没有。
把这个放到codeplex项目中
