第一个是我最喜欢的，因为它可以代替:

Control c = this.FindControl("tbName");
if (c != null)
{
    // Do something with c
    customer.Name = ((TextBox)c).Text;
}

用这个:

TextBox c = this.FindControl<TextBox>("tbName");
customer.Name = c.Text;

设置默认字符串值:

string str = "";
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(str))
{
    str = "I'm empty!";
}

就变成:

str = str.Alternative("I'm empty!");

与时间跨度相关的扩展，如:

public static TimeSpan Seconds(this int seconds)
{
  return TimeSpan.FromSeconds(seconds);
}

public static TimeSpan Minutes(this int minutes)
{
  return TimeSpan.FromMinutes(minutes);
}

允许使用:

1.Seconds()
20.Minutes()

像这样的锁定扩展:

public static IDisposable GetReadLock(this ReaderWriterLockSlim slimLock)
{
  slimLock.EnterReadLock();
  return new DisposableAction(slimLock.ExitReadLock);
}

public static IDisposable GetWriteLock(this ReaderWriterLockSlim slimLock)
{
  slimLock.EnterWriteLock();
  return new DisposableAction(slimLock.ExitWriteLock);
}

public static IDisposable GetUpgradeableReadLock(this ReaderWriterLockSlim slimLock)
{
  slimLock.EnterUpgradeableReadLock();
  return new DisposableAction(slimLock.ExitUpgradeableReadLock);
}

允许使用像这样的锁:

using (lock.GetUpgradeableReadLock())
{
  // try read
  using (lock.GetWriteLock())
  {
    //do write
  }
}

还有许多来自Lokad共享图书馆的其他书籍

我发现下面的扩展方法非常有用:

public static T GetService<T>(this IServiceProvider provider)
{
    return (T)provider.GetService(typeof(T));
}

它使使用IServiceProvider接口变得更加容易。比较:

IProvideValueTarget target = (IProvideValueTarget)serviceProvider(typeof(IProvideValueTarget));

and

var target = serviceProvider.GetService<IProvideValueTarget>();

ASP。NET中，我使用这些扩展httpessionstate来加载会话中的对象。 它允许您以干净的方式加载会话对象，如果它们不存在，则将创建和初始化它们。 我使用两个扩展方法，如下所示:

private bool CreateMode;
private MyClass SomeClass;

protected override void OnInit (EventArgs e)
{
    CreateMode = Session.GetSessionValue<bool> ("someKey1", () => true);
    SomeClass = Session.GetSessionClass<MyClass> ("someKey2", () => new MyClass () 
    { 
       MyProperty = 123 
    });
}

下面是扩展类:

public static class SessionExtensions    
{
    public delegate object UponCreate ();
    public static T GetSessionClass<T> (this HttpSessionState session, 
       string key, UponCreate uponCreate) where T : class
    {
        if (null == session[key])
        {
            var item = uponCreate () as T;
            session[key] = item;
            return item;
        }
        return session[key] as T;
    }
    public static T GetSessionValue<T> (this HttpSessionState session, 
       string key, UponCreate uponCreate) where T : struct
    {
        if (null == session[key])
        {
            var item = uponCreate();
            session[key] = item;
            return (T)item;
        }
        return (T)session[key];
    }
}

类似于上面的字符串As和Is，但对所有对象都是全局的。

这很简单，但我经常使用这些方法来缓解拳击中的parens爆炸。

public static class ExtensionMethods_Object
{
    [DebuggerStepThrough()]
    public static bool Is<T>(this object item) where T : class
    {
        return item is T;
    }

    [DebuggerStepThrough()]
    public static bool IsNot<T>(this object item) where T : class
    {
        return !(item.Is<T>());
    }

    [DebuggerStepThrough()]
    public static T As<T>(this object item) where T : class
    {
        return item as T;
    }
}

我很高兴这段代码能在codeplex上使用，事实上它已经在使用了。

我已经实现了一个扩展方法包(在http://foop.codeplex.com/上可用)，其中一些是我日常使用的:

// the most beloved extension method for me is Pipe:
<%= variable.Pipe(x => this.SomeFunction(x)).Pipe(y =>
{
    ...;
    return this.SomeOtherFunction(y);
}) %>

var d = 28.December(2009); // some extension methods for creating DateTime
DateTime justDatePart = d.JustDate();
TimeSpan justTimePart = d.JustTime();
var nextTime = d.Add(5.Hours());

using(StreamReader reader = new StreamReader("lines-of-data-file-for-example")) {
    ...
    // for reading streams line by line and usable in LINQ
    var query = from line in reader.Lines(); 
                where line.Contains(_today)
                select new { Parts = PartsOf(line), Time = _now };
}

500.Sleep();
