我想我以前在什么地方见过这个，但在这里找不到。MS在dictionary接口上有一个TryGetValue函数，但是它返回一个bool值，并在一个out参数中给出值，所以这里有一个更简单，更清晰的实现:

public static TVal GetValueOrDefault<TKey, TVal>(this IDictionary<TKey, TVal> d, TKey key) {
  if (d.ContainsKey(key))
    return d[key];
  return default(TVal);
}

空格规范化非常有用，特别是在处理用户输入时:

namespace Extensions.String
{
    using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

    public static class Extensions
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Normalizes whitespace in a string.
        /// Leading/Trailing whitespace is eliminated and
        /// all sequences of internal whitespace are reduced to
        /// a single SP (ASCII 0x20) character.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="s">The string whose whitespace is to be normalized</param>
        /// <returns>a normalized string</returns>
        public static string NormalizeWS( this string @this )
        {
            string src        = @this ?? "" ;
            string normalized = rxWS.Replace( src , m =>{
                  bool isLeadingTrailingWS = ( m.Index == 0 || m.Index+m.Length == src.Length ? true : false ) ;
                  string p                 = ( isLeadingTrailingWS ? "" : " " ) ;
                  return p ;
                }) ;

            return normalized ;

        }
        private static Regex rxWS = new Regex( @"\s+" ) ;
    }
}

将字符串的长度减少到toLength，并在缩短的字符串的末尾添加一个额外的字符串，以表示字符串被缩短(默认值…)

public static string Shorten(this string str, int toLength, string cutOffReplacement = " ...")
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(str) || str.Length <= toLength)
        return str;
    else
        return str.Remove(toLength) + cutOffReplacement;
}

内联转换:我喜欢这个小模式。完成了Boolean, Double和DateTime。设计遵循c#的is和作为操作符。

public static Int32? AsInt32(this string s)
{
    Int32 value;
    if (Int32.TryParse(s, out value))
        return value;

    return null;
}

public static bool IsInt32(this string s)
{
    return s.AsInt32().HasValue;
}

public static Int32 ToInt32(this string s)
{
    return Int32.Parse(s);
{

这个很有用:

    public static IEnumerable<TResult> Zip<TFirst, TSecond, TResult>(this IEnumerable<TFirst> first, IEnumerable<TSecond> second, Func<TFirst, TSecond, TResult> selector)
    {
        if (first == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("first");
        if (second == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("second");
        if (selector == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("selector");

        using (var enum1 = first.GetEnumerator())
        using (var enum2 = second.GetEnumerator())
        {
            while (enum1.MoveNext() && enum2.MoveNext())
            {
                yield return selector(enum1.Current, enum2.Current);
            }
        }
    }

它在。net 4.0中被添加到Enumerable类中，但是在3.5中使用它很方便。

例子:

var names = new[] { "Joe", "Jane", "Jack", "John" };
var ages = new[] { 42, 22, 18, 33 };

var persons = names.Zip(ages, (n, a) => new { Name = n, Age = a });

foreach (var p in persons)
{
    Console.WriteLine("{0} is {1} years old", p.Name, p.Age);
}

扩展方法:

public static void AddRange<T, S>(this ICollection<T> list, params S[] values)
    where S : T
{
    foreach (S value in values)
        list.Add(value);
}

该方法适用于所有类型，并允许您将一系列项作为参数添加到列表中。

例子:

var list = new List<Int32>();
list.AddRange(5, 4, 8, 4, 2);
