下面是我们工作代码库中的一个有趣的例子。在作业线程上遍历一个昂贵的lazy-eval枚举对象，并通过一个可观察对象推回结果。

public static IObservable<T> ToAsyncObservable<T>(this IEnumerable<T> @this)
{
    return Observable.Create<T>(observer =>
    {
        var task = new Task(() =>
        {
            try
            {
                @this.Run(observer.OnNext);
                observer.OnCompleted();
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                observer.OnError(e);
            }
        });

        task.Start();

        return () => { };
    });
}

愚蠢的示例:

new DirectoryInfo(@"c:\program files")
    .EnumerateFiles("*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
    .ToAsyncObservable()
    .BufferWithTime(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.5))
    .ObserveOnDispatcher()
    .Subscribe(
        l => Console.WriteLine("{0} received", l.Count),
        () => Console.WriteLine("Done!"));

for (;;)
{
    Thread.Sleep(10);
    Dispatcher.PushFrame(new DispatcherFrame());
}

显然，这个扩展将是无用的，如果你不使用辉煌的响应式扩展!

感谢评论中的Richard，这个扩展方法是不必要的。RX已经有一个扩展方法“tooobservable”，它接受IScheduler。那就用这个吧!

讨厌这种代码?

CloneableClass cc1 = new CloneableClass ();
CloneableClass cc2 = null;
CloneableClass cc3 = null;

cc3 = (CloneableClass) cc1.Clone (); // this is ok
cc3 = cc2.Clone (); // this throws null ref exception
// code to handle both cases
cc3 = cc1 != null ? (CloneableClass) cc1.Clone () : null;

它有点笨拙，所以我用这个扩展替换它，我称之为CloneOrNull -

public static T CloneOrNull<T> (this T self) where T : class, ICloneable
{
    if (self == null) return null;
    return (T) self.Clone ();
}

用法如下:

CloneableClass cc1 = new CloneableClass ();
CloneableClass cc2 = null;
CloneableClass cc3 = null;

cc3 = cc1.CloneOrNull (); // clone of cc1
cc3 = cc2.CloneOrNull (); // null
// look mom, no casts!

请随意在任何地方使用这个!

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();

XmlSerialize and XmlDeserialize

IsNull and IsNotNull

IfTrue, IfFalse and Iff:
true.IfTrue(() => Console.WriteLine("it is true then!");

IfNull and IfNotNull

这一次是为了使UriBuilder在处理查询参数时更加友好。

    /// <summary>
    /// Adds the specified query parameter to the URI builder.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="builder">The builder.</param>
    /// <param name="parameterName">Name of the parameter.</param>
    /// <param name="value">The URI escaped value.</param>
    /// <returns>The final full query string.</returns>
    public static string AddQueryParam(this UriBuilder builder, string parameterName, string value)
    {
        if (parameterName == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("parameterName");

        if (parameterName.Length == 0)
            throw new ArgumentException("The parameter name is empty.");

        if (value == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("value");

        if (value.Length == 0)
            throw new ArgumentException("The value is empty.");

        if (builder.Query.Length == 0)
        {
            builder.Query = String.Concat(parameterName, "=", value);
        }
        else if
            (builder.Query.Contains(String.Concat("&", parameterName, "="))
            || builder.Query.Contains(String.Concat("?", parameterName, "=")))
        {
            throw new InvalidOperationException(String.Format("The parameter {0} already exists.", parameterName));
        }
        else
        {
            builder.Query = String.Concat(builder.Query.Substring(1), "&", parameterName, "=", value);
        }

        return builder.Query;
    }

把这个:

DbCommand command = connection.CreateCommand();
command.CommandText = "SELECT @param";

DbParameter param = command.CreateParameter();
param.ParameterName = "@param";
param.Value = "Hello World";

command.Parameters.Add(param);

．.． 到这个:

DbCommand command = connection.CreateCommand("SELECT {0}", "Hello World");

．.． 使用这个扩展方法:

using System.Data.Common;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Reflection;

   public static class Db {

      static readonly Func<DbConnection, DbProviderFactory> getDbProviderFactory;
      static readonly Func<DbCommandBuilder, int, string> getParameterName;
      static readonly Func<DbCommandBuilder, int, string> getParameterPlaceholder;

      static Db() {

         getDbProviderFactory = (Func<DbConnection, DbProviderFactory>)Delegate.CreateDelegate(typeof(Func<DbConnection, DbProviderFactory>), typeof(DbConnection).GetProperty("DbProviderFactory", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).GetGetMethod(true));
         getParameterName = (Func<DbCommandBuilder, int, string>)Delegate.CreateDelegate(typeof(Func<DbCommandBuilder, int, string>), typeof(DbCommandBuilder).GetMethod("GetParameterName", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic, Type.DefaultBinder, new Type[] { typeof(Int32) }, null));
         getParameterPlaceholder = (Func<DbCommandBuilder, int, string>)Delegate.CreateDelegate(typeof(Func<DbCommandBuilder, int, string>), typeof(DbCommandBuilder).GetMethod("GetParameterPlaceholder", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic, Type.DefaultBinder, new Type[] { typeof(Int32) }, null));
      }

      public static DbProviderFactory GetProviderFactory(this DbConnection connection) {
         return getDbProviderFactory(connection);
      }

      public static DbCommand CreateCommand(this DbConnection connection, string commandText, params object[] parameters) {

         if (connection == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("connection");

         return CreateCommandImpl(GetProviderFactory(connection).CreateCommandBuilder(), connection.CreateCommand(), commandText, parameters);
      }

      private static DbCommand CreateCommandImpl(DbCommandBuilder commandBuilder, DbCommand command, string commandText, params object[] parameters) {

         if (commandBuilder == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("commandBuilder");
         if (command == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("command");
         if (commandText == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("commandText");

         if (parameters == null || parameters.Length == 0) {
            command.CommandText = commandText;
            return command;
         }

         object[] paramPlaceholders = new object[parameters.Length];

         for (int i = 0; i < paramPlaceholders.Length; i++) {

            DbParameter dbParam = command.CreateParameter();
            dbParam.ParameterName = getParameterName(commandBuilder, i);
            dbParam.Value = parameters[i] ?? DBNull.Value;
            command.Parameters.Add(dbParam);

            paramPlaceholders[i] = getParameterPlaceholder(commandBuilder, i);
         }

         command.CommandText = String.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, commandText, paramPlaceholders);

         return command;
      }
   }
}
