轻松序列化对象为XML:

public static string ToXml<T>(this T obj) where T : class
{
    XmlSerializer s = new XmlSerializer(obj.GetType());
    using (StringWriter writer = new StringWriter())
    {
        s.Serialize(writer, obj);
        return writer.ToString();
    }
}

"<root><child>foo</child</root>".ToXml<MyCustomType>();

下面是我经常使用的演示格式。

public static string ToTitleCase(this string mText)
{
    if (mText == null) return mText;

    System.Globalization.CultureInfo cultureInfo = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;
    System.Globalization.TextInfo textInfo = cultureInfo.TextInfo;

    // TextInfo.ToTitleCase only operates on the string if is all lower case, otherwise it returns the string unchanged.
    return textInfo.ToTitleCase(mText.ToLower());
}

简明扼要地提出事件:

public static void Raise(this EventHandler handler, object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (handler != null)
    {
        handler(sender, e);
    }
}

public static void Raise<T>(this EventHandler<T> handler, object sender, T e) where T : EventArgs
{
    if (handler != null)
    {
        handler(sender, e);
    }
}

用法:

public event EventHandler Bar;

public void Foo()
{
    Bar.Raise(this, EventArgs.Empty);
}

这里有一些关于潜在线程安全问题的讨论。从。net 4开始，上面的表单是线程安全的，但如果使用旧版本，则需要重新排列和一些锁。

public static bool In<T>(this T source, params T[] list)
{
  if(null==source) throw new ArgumentNullException("source");
  return list.Contains(source);
}

允许我替换:

if(reallyLongIntegerVariableName == 1 || 
    reallyLongIntegerVariableName == 6 || 
    reallyLongIntegerVariableName == 9 || 
    reallyLongIntegerVariableName == 11)
{
  // do something....
}

and

if(reallyLongStringVariableName == "string1" || 
    reallyLongStringVariableName == "string2" || 
    reallyLongStringVariableName == "string3")
{
  // do something....
}

and

if(reallyLongMethodParameterName == SomeEnum.Value1 || 
    reallyLongMethodParameterName == SomeEnum.Value2 || 
    reallyLongMethodParameterName == SomeEnum.Value3 || 
    reallyLongMethodParameterName == SomeEnum.Value4)
{
  // do something....
}

:

if(reallyLongIntegerVariableName.In(1,6,9,11))
{
      // do something....
}

and

if(reallyLongStringVariableName.In("string1","string2","string3"))
{
      // do something....
}

and

if(reallyLongMethodParameterName.In(SomeEnum.Value1, SomeEnum.Value2, SomeEnum.Value3, SomeEnum.Value4)
{
  // do something....
}

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:-)]

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。
