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!");

IEnumerable < >洗牌

我用Fisher-Yates算法实现了一个shuffle函数。

通过使用yield return和将代码分解为两个函数，它实现了适当的参数验证和延迟执行。(谢谢丹，在我的第一个版本中指出了这个缺陷)

static public IEnumerable<T> Shuffle<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source)
{
    if (source == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("source");

    return ShuffleIterator(source);
}

static private IEnumerable<T> ShuffleIterator<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source)
{
    T[] array = source.ToArray();
    Random rnd = new Random();          
    for (int n = array.Length; n > 1;)
    {
        int k = rnd.Next(n--); // 0 <= k < n

        //Swap items
        if (n != k)
        {
            T tmp = array[k];
            array[k] = array[n];
            array[n] = tmp;
        }
    }

    foreach (var item in array) yield return item;
}

为什么不呢!这是一个扩展到IList(不能是IEnumerable，因为我使用列表特定的功能)插入排序。

internal static class SortingHelpers
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Performs an insertion sort on this list.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">The type of the list supplied.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="list">the list to sort.</param>
    /// <param name="comparison">the method for comparison of two elements.</param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public static void InsertionSort<T>(this IList<T> list, Comparison<T> comparison)
    {
        for (int i = 2; i < list.Count; i++)
        {
            for (int j = i; j > 1 && comparison(list[j], list[j - 1]) < 0; j--)
            {
                T tempItem = list[j];
                list.RemoveAt(j);
                list.Insert(j - 1, tempItem);
            }
        }
    }
}

一个例子:

List<int> list1 = { 3, 5, 1, 2, 9, 4, 6 };
list1.InsertionSort((a,b) => a - b);
//list is now in order of 1,2,3,4,5,6,9

从集合中加载默认设置的一种更简单的方法(在现实生活中，我使用它来填充来自任何来源的设置，包括命令行，ClickOnce URL参数等):

public static void LoadFrom(this ApplicationSettingsBase settings, NameValueCollection configuration)
{
    if (configuration != null)
        foreach (string key in configuration.AllKeys)
            if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(key))
                try
                {
                    settings[key] = configuration.Get(key);
                }
                catch (SettingsPropertyNotFoundException)
                {
                  // handle bad arguments as you wish
                }
}

例子:

Settings.Default.LoadFrom(new NameValueCollection() { { "Setting1", "Value1" }, { "Setting2", "Value2" } });

获取一个camelCaseWord或PascalCaseWord并将其“Word化”，即camelCaseWord => camelCaseWord

public static string Wordify( this string camelCaseWord )
{
    // if the word is all upper, just return it
    if( !Regex.IsMatch( camelCaseWord, "[a-z]" ) )
        return camelCaseWord;

    return string.Join( " ", Regex.Split( camelCaseWord, @"(?<!^)(?=[A-Z])" ) );
}

我经常将它与大写字母结合使用

public static string Capitalize( this string word )
{
    return word[0].ToString( ).ToUpper( ) + word.Substring( 1 );
}

示例使用

SomeEntityObject entity = DataAccessObject.GetSomeEntityObject( id );
List<PropertyInfo> properties = entity.GetType().GetPublicNonCollectionProperties( );

// wordify the property names to act as column headers for an html table or something
List<string> columns = properties.Select( p => p.Name.Capitalize( ).Wordify( ) ).ToList( );

The Substring method on the string class has always felt inadequate to me. Usually when you do a substring, you know the character(s) from where you want to start, and the charachter(s) where you want to end. Thus, I've always felt that have to specify length as the second parameter is stupid. Therefore, I've written my own extension methods. One that takes a startIndex and an endIndex. And one, that takes a startText (string) and endText (string) so you can just specify the text from where to start the substring, and the text for where to end it.

注意:我不能将方法命名为。net中的Substring，因为我的第一个重载采用了与。net重载中的一个相同的参数类型。因此我将它们命名为Subsetstring。请随意添加到CodePlex…

        int end = temp.IndexOf(endText, start);
        return Subsetstring(s, start, end);
    }
}

用法:

string s = "This is a tester for my cool extension method!!";
       s = s.Subsetstring("tester", "cool",true);

输出:"test for my "
