我最喜欢的是字符串上的IsLike()扩展。IsLike()匹配VB的Like操作符，当你不想写一个完整的正则表达式来解决你的问题时，它很方便。用法是这样的:

"abc".IsLike("a*"); // true
"Abc".IsLike("[A-Z][a-z][a-z]"); // true
"abc123".IsLike("*###"); // true
"hat".IsLike("?at"); // true
"joe".IsLike("[!aeiou]*"); // true

"joe".IsLike("?at"); // false
"joe".IsLike("[A-Z][a-z][a-z]"); // false

下面是代码

public static class StringEntentions {
    /// <summary>
    /// Indicates whether the current string matches the supplied wildcard pattern.  Behaves the same
    /// as VB's "Like" Operator.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="s">The string instance where the extension method is called</param>
    /// <param name="wildcardPattern">The wildcard pattern to match.  Syntax matches VB's Like operator.</param>
    /// <returns>true if the string matches the supplied pattern, false otherwise.</returns>
    /// <remarks>See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/swf8kaxw(v=VS.100).aspx</remarks>
    public static bool IsLike(this string s, string wildcardPattern) {
        if (s == null || String.IsNullOrEmpty(wildcardPattern)) return false;
        // turn into regex pattern, and match the whole string with ^$
        var regexPattern = "^" + Regex.Escape(wildcardPattern) + "$";

        // add support for ?, #, *, [], and [!]
        regexPattern = regexPattern.Replace(@"\[!", "[^")
                                   .Replace(@"\[", "[")
                                   .Replace(@"\]", "]")
                                   .Replace(@"\?", ".")
                                   .Replace(@"\*", ".*")
                                   .Replace(@"\#", @"\d");

        var result = false;
        try {
            result = Regex.IsMatch(s, regexPattern);
        }
        catch (ArgumentException ex) {
            throw new ArgumentException(String.Format("Invalid pattern: {0}", wildcardPattern), ex);
        }
        return result;
    }
}

我们有一个部署工具可以在不同环境之间进行部署。由于文件可以标记为修改，但实际上没有不同，我想出了这个:

/// <summary>
/// Compares the files to see if they are different. 
/// First checks file size
/// Then modified if the file is larger than the specified size
/// Then compares the bytes
/// </summary>
/// <param name="file1">The source file</param>
/// <param name="file2">The destination file</param>
/// <param name="mb">Skip the smart check if the file is larger than this many megabytes. Default is 10.</param>
/// <returns></returns>
public static bool IsDifferentThan(this FileInfo file1, FileInfo file2, int mb = 10)
{
  var ret = false;

  // different size is a different file
  if(file1.Length != file2.Length) return true;

  // if the file times are different and the file is bigger than 10mb flag it for updating
  if(file1.LastWriteTimeUtc > file2.LastWriteTimeUtc && file1.Length > ((mb*1024)*1024)) return true;

  var f1 = File.ReadAllBytes(file1.FullName);
  var f2 = File.ReadAllBytes(file2.FullName);

  // loop through backwards because if they are different
  // it is more likely that the last few bytes will be different
  // than the first few
  for(var i = file1.Length - 1; i > 0; i--)
  {
    if(f1[i] != f2[i])
    {
      ret = true;
      break;
    }
  }

  return ret;
}

每n个字符换行一个字符串。

public static string WrapAt(this string str, int WrapPos)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(str))
        throw new ArgumentNullException("str", "Cannot wrap a null string");
    str = str.Replace("\r", "").Replace("\n", "");

    if (str.Length <= WrapPos)
        return str;

    for (int i = str.Length; i >= 0; i--)
        if (i % WrapPos == 0 && i > 0 && i != str.Length)
            str = str.Insert(i, "\r\n");
    return str;
}

获取URI的根域。

/// <summary>Gets the root domain of any URI</summary>
/// <param name="uri">URI to get root domain of</param>
/// <returns>Root domain with TLD</returns>
public static string GetRootDomain(this System.Uri uri)
{
    if (uri == null)
        return null;

    string Domain = uri.Host;
    while (System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Matches(Domain, @"[\.]").Count > 1)
        Domain = Domain.Substring(Domain.IndexOf('.') + 1);
    Domain = Domain.Substring(0, Domain.IndexOf('.'));
    return Domain;
}

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…

一些Date函数:

public static bool IsFuture(this DateTime date, DateTime from)
{
    return date.Date > from.Date;
}

public static bool IsFuture(this DateTime date)
{
    return date.IsFuture(DateTime.Now);
}

public static bool IsPast(this DateTime date, DateTime from)
{
    return date.Date < from.Date;
}

public static bool IsPast(this DateTime date)
{
    return date.IsPast(DateTime.Now);
}
