当前回答

这些有用吗?

public static bool CoinToss(this Random rng)
{
    return rng.Next(2) == 0;
}

public static T OneOf<T>(this Random rng, params T[] things)
{
    return things[rng.Next(things.Length)];
}

Random rand;
bool luckyDay = rand.CoinToss();
string babyName = rand.OneOf("John", "George", "Radio XBR74 ROCKS!");

其他回答

我创建了一个漂亮的Each扩展,具有与jQuery的Each函数相同的行为。

它允许如下所示,你可以获得当前值的索引,并通过返回false跳出循环:

new[] { "first", "second", "third" }.Each((value, index) =>
{
    if (value.Contains("d"))
        return false;
    Console.Write(value);
    return true;
});

下面是代码

/// <summary>
/// Generic iterator function that is useful to replace a foreach loop with at your discretion.  A provided action is performed on each element.
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T"></typeparam>
/// <param name="source"></param>
/// <param name="action">Function that takes in the current value in the sequence. 
/// <returns></returns>
public static IEnumerable<T> Each<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source, Action<T> action)
{
    return source.Each((value, index) =>
    {
        action(value);
        return true;
    });
}

        return true;
    });
}

public static IEnumerable<T> Each<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source, Func<T, bool> action)
{
    return source.Each((value, index) =>
    {
        return action(value);
    });
}

public static IEnumerable<T> Each<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source, Func<T, int, bool> action)
{
    if (source == null)
        return source;

    int index = 0;
    foreach (var sourceItem in source)
    {
        if (!action(sourceItem, index))
            break;
        index++;
    }
    return source;
}

这是我今天刚创建的一个。

// requires .NET 4

public static TReturn NullOr<TIn, TReturn>(this TIn obj, Func<TIn, TReturn> func,
        TReturn elseValue = default(TReturn)) where TIn : class
    { return obj != null ? func(obj) : elseValue; }

// versions for CLR 2, which doesn't support optional params

public static TReturn NullOr<TIn, TReturn>(this TIn obj, Func<TIn, TReturn> func,
        TReturn elseValue) where TIn : class
    { return obj != null ? func(obj) : elseValue; }
public static TReturn NullOr<TIn, TReturn>(this TIn obj, Func<TIn, TReturn> func)
        where TIn : class
    { return obj != null ? func(obj) : default(TReturn); }

它让你这样做:

var lname = thingy.NullOr(t => t.Name).NullOr(n => n.ToLower());

哪个比这个更流畅,(依我看)更容易阅读:

var lname = (thingy != null ? thingy.Name : null) != null
    ? thingy.Name.ToLower() : null;
// Checks for an empty collection, and sends the value set in the default constructor for the desired field
public static TResult MinGuarded<T, TResult>(this IEnumerable<T> items, Func<T, TResult> expression) where T : new() {
    if(items.IsEmpty()) {
        return (new List<T> { new T() }).Min(expression);
    }
    return items.Min(expression);
}

// Checks for an empty collection, and sends the value set in the default constructor for the desired field
public static TResult MaxGuarded<T, TResult>(this IEnumerable<T> items, Func<T, TResult> expression) where T : new() {
    if(items.IsEmpty()) {
        return (new List<T> { new T() }).Max(expression);
    }
    return items.Max(expression);
}

我不确定是否有更好的方法来做到这一点,但这个扩展是非常有用的,每当我想要控制我的对象中的字段的默认值。 例如,如果我想控制DateTime的值,并希望根据我的业务逻辑进行设置,那么我可以在默认构造函数中这样做。否则,它将显示为DateTime.MinDate。

Sql server有~2000个参数的限制,如果你有10k个id并想要与它们连接的记录,这是一个痛苦。我写了这些方法,接受批量id列表,并像这样调用:

List<Order> orders = dataContext.Orders.FetchByIds(
  orderIdChunks,
  list => row => list.Contains(row.OrderId)
);

List<Customer> customers = dataContext.Orders.FetchByIds(
  orderIdChunks,
  list => row => list.Contains(row.OrderId),
  row => row.Customer
);

public static List<ResultType> FetchByIds<RecordType, ResultType>(
    this IQueryable<RecordType> querySource,
    List<List<int>> IdChunks,
    Func<List<int>, Expression<Func<RecordType, bool>>> filterExpressionGenerator,
    Expression<Func<RecordType, ResultType>> projectionExpression
    ) where RecordType : class
{
    List<ResultType> result = new List<ResultType>();
    foreach (List<int> chunk in IdChunks)
    {
        Expression<Func<RecordType, bool>> filterExpression =
            filterExpressionGenerator(chunk);

        IQueryable<ResultType> query = querySource
            .Where(filterExpression)
            .Select(projectionExpression);

        List<ResultType> rows = query.ToList();
        result.AddRange(rows);
    }

    return result;
}

public static List<RecordType> FetchByIds<RecordType>(
    this IQueryable<RecordType> querySource,
    List<List<int>> IdChunks,
    Func<List<int>, Expression<Func<RecordType, bool>>> filterExpressionGenerator
    ) where RecordType : class
{
    Expression<Func<RecordType, RecordType>> identity = r => r;

    return FetchByIds(
        querySource,
        IdChunks,
        filterExpressionGenerator,
        identity
        );
}

我今天刚刚在博客上写了这个。它是INotifyPropertyChanged属性周围的强类型响应式包装器。

GetPropertyValues返回一个IObservable<T>的值,当它们改变时,从当前值开始。如果忽略当前值,可以对结果调用Skip(1)。

用法如下:

IObservable<int> values = viewModel.GetPropertyValues(x => x.IntProperty);

实现:

public static class NotifyPropertyChangeReactiveExtensions
{
    // Returns the values of property (an Expression) as they change, 
    // starting with the current value
    public static IObservable<TValue> GetPropertyValues<TSource, TValue>(
        this TSource source, Expression<Func<TSource, TValue>> property)
        where TSource : INotifyPropertyChanged
    {
        MemberExpression memberExpression = property.Body as MemberExpression;

        if (memberExpression == null)
        {
            throw new ArgumentException(
                "property must directly access a property of the source");
        }

        string propertyName = memberExpression.Member.Name;

        Func<TSource, TValue> accessor = property.Compile();

        return source.GetPropertyChangedEvents()
            .Where(x => x.EventArgs.PropertyName == propertyName)
            .Select(x => accessor(source))
            .StartWith(accessor(source));
    }

    // This is a wrapper around FromEvent(PropertyChanged)
    public static IObservable<IEvent<PropertyChangedEventArgs>>
        GetPropertyChangedEvents(this INotifyPropertyChanged source)
    {
        return Observable.FromEvent<PropertyChangedEventHandler, 
            PropertyChangedEventArgs>(
            h => new PropertyChangedEventHandler(h),
            h => source.PropertyChanged += h,
            h => source.PropertyChanged -= h);
    }
}
