GetMemberName允许在编译时安全的情况下获取带有成员名称的字符串。

public static string GetMemberName<T, TResult>(
    this T anyObject, 
    Expression<Func<T, TResult>> expression)
{
    return ((MemberExpression)expression.Body).Member.Name;
}

用法:

"blah".GetMemberName(x => x.Length); // returns "Length"

如果你没有实例，它会和一个非扩展静态方法一起出现:

public static string GetMemberName<T, TReturn>(
    Expression<Func<T, TReturn>> expression)
    where T : class
{
    return ((MemberExpression)expression.Body).Member.Name;
}

当然，这个电话看起来并不漂亮:

ReflectionUtility.GetMemberName((string) s => s.Length); // returns "Length"

如果你愿意，可以用Codeplex。

通配符字符串比较:

public static bool MatchesWildcard(this string text, string pattern)
{
    int it = 0;
    while (text.CharAt(it) != 0 &&
           pattern.CharAt(it) != '*')
    {
        if (pattern.CharAt(it) != text.CharAt(it) && pattern.CharAt(it) != '?')
            return false;
        it++;
    }

    int cp = 0;
    int mp = 0;
    int ip = it;

    while (text.CharAt(it) != 0)
    {
        if (pattern.CharAt(ip) == '*')
        {
            if (pattern.CharAt(++ip) == 0)
                return true;
            mp = ip;
            cp = it + 1;
        }
        else if (pattern.CharAt(ip) == text.CharAt(it) || pattern.CharAt(ip) == '?')
        {
            ip++;
            it++;
        }
        else
        {
            ip = mp;
            it = cp++;
        }
    }

    while (pattern.CharAt(ip) == '*')
    {
        ip++;
    }
    return pattern.CharAt(ip) == 0;
}

public static char CharAt(this string s, int index)
{
    if (index < s.Length)
        return s[index];
    return '\0';
}

它直接翻译了本文中的C代码，因此CharAt方法将字符串的末尾返回0

if (fileName.MatchesWildcard("*.cs"))
{
    Console.WriteLine("{0} is a C# source file", fileName);
}

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。

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…

这个还没有完全烤熟因为我们今天早上才想到。它将为Type生成一个完整的类定义。当您有一个大型类，想要创建一个子集或完整定义，但无法访问它的情况下非常有用。例如，将对象存储在数据库中等等。

public static class TypeExtensions
{
    public static string GenerateClassDefinition(this Type type)
    {
        var properties = type.GetFields();
        var sb = new StringBuilder();
        var classtext = @"private class $name
        {
         $props}";

        foreach (var p in GetTypeInfo(type))
        {
            sb.AppendFormat("  public {0} {1} ", p.Item2, p.Item1).AppendLine(" { get; set; }");
        }

        return classtext.Replace("$name", type.Name).Replace("$props", sb.ToString());
    }

    #region Private Methods
    private static List<Tuple<string, string>> GetTypeInfo(Type type)
    {
        var ret = new List<Tuple<string, string>>();
        var fields = type.GetFields();
        var props = type.GetProperties();

        foreach(var p in props) ret.Add(new Tuple<string, string>(p.Name, TranslateType(p.PropertyType)));    
        foreach(var f in fields) ret.Add(new Tuple<string, string>(f.Name, TranslateType(f.FieldType)));

        return ret;
    }


    private static string TranslateType(Type input)
    {
        string ret;

        if (Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(input) != null)
        {
            ret = string.Format("{0}?", TranslateType(Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(input)));
        }
        else
        {
            switch (input.Name)
            {
                case "Int32": ret = "int"; break;
                case "Int64": ret = "long"; break;
                case "IntPtr": ret = "long"; break;
                case "Boolean": ret = "bool"; break;
                case "String":
                case "Char":
                case "Decimal":
                    ret = input.Name.ToLower(); break;
                default: ret = input.Name; break;
            }
        }

        return ret;
    }
    #endregion
}

使用示例:

Process.GetProcesses().First().GetType().GenerateClassDefinition();

如果使用linqpad，变得更加方便:

Process.GetProcesses().First().GetType().GenerateClassDefinition().Dump();

我有一个扩展方法记录异常:

public static void Log(this Exception obj)
{
  //your logging logic here
}

它的用法是这样的:

try
{
    //Your stuff here
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
    ex.Log();
}

[抱歉发了两次;第二个设计得更好:-)]
