我的转换扩展,允许你做:

int i = myString.To<int>();

这是在TheSoftwareJedi.com上发布的

public static T To<T>(this IConvertible obj)
{
  return (T)Convert.ChangeType(obj, typeof(T));
}

public static T ToOrDefault<T>
             (this IConvertible obj)
{
    try
    {
        return To<T>(obj);
    }
    catch
    {
        return default(T);
    }
}

public static bool ToOrDefault<T>
                    (this IConvertible obj,
                     out T newObj)
{
    try
    {
        newObj = To<T>(obj); 
        return true;
    }
    catch
    {
        newObj = default(T); 
        return false;
    }
}

public static T ToOrOther<T>
                       (this IConvertible obj,
                       T other)
{
  try
  {
      return To<T>obj);
  }
  catch
  {
      return other;
  }
}

public static bool ToOrOther<T>
                         (this IConvertible obj,
                         out T newObj,
                         T other)
{
    try
    {
        newObj = To<T>(obj);
        return true;
    }
    catch
    {
        newObj = other;
        return false;
    }
}

public static T ToOrNull<T>
                      (this IConvertible obj)
                      where T : class
{
    try
    {
        return To<T>(obj);
    }
    catch
    {
        return null;
    }
}

public static bool ToOrNull<T>
                  (this IConvertible obj,
                  out T newObj)
                  where T : class
{
    try
    {
        newObj = To<T>(obj);
        return true;
    }
    catch
    {
        newObj = null;
        return false;
    }
}

您可以在失败时请求default(调用空白构造函数或“0”作为数字),指定一个“default”值(我称之为“other”),或请求null(其中T: class)。我还提供了两个静默异常模型和一个典型的TryParse模型,该模型返回一个bool值,指示所采取的操作,一个out参数保存新值。 我们的代码可以这样做

int i = myString.To<int>();
string a = myInt.ToOrDefault<string>();
//note type inference
DateTime d = myString.ToOrOther(DateTime.MAX_VALUE);
double d;
//note type inference
bool didItGiveDefault = myString.ToOrDefault(out d);
string s = myDateTime.ToOrNull<string>();

我不能让Nullable类型非常干净地滚入整个东西。我试了大约20分钟才认输。

其他回答

我经常用这个…

原始代码:

if (guid != Guid.Empty) return guid;
else return Guid.NewGuid();

新代码:

return guid.NewGuidIfEmpty();

扩展方法:

public static Guid NewGuidIfEmpty(this Guid uuid)
{
    return (uuid != Guid.Empty ? uuid : Guid.NewGuid());
}

当使用键为字符串的字典时,使用不区分大小写的搜索返回现有的键。我们的用例是文件路径。

/// <summary>
/// Gets the key using <paramref name="caseInsensitiveKey"/> from <paramref name="dictionary"/>.
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">The dictionary value.</typeparam>
/// <param name="dictionary">The dictionary.</param>
/// <param name="caseInsensitiveKey">The case insensitive key.</param>
/// <returns>
/// An existing key; or <see cref="string.Empty"/> if not found.
/// </returns>
public static string GetKeyIgnoringCase<T>(this IDictionary<string, T> dictionary, string caseInsensitiveKey)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(caseInsensitiveKey)) return string.Empty;
    foreach (string key in dictionary.Keys)
    {
        if (key.Equals(caseInsensitiveKey, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
        {
            return key;
        }
    }
    return string.Empty;
}

避免参数的解析模式:

public static bool TryParseInt32(this string input, Action<int> action)
{
    int result;
    if (Int32.TryParse(input, out result))
    {
        action(result);
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

用法:

if (!textBox.Text.TryParseInt32(number => label.Text = SomeMathFunction(number)))
    label.Text = "Please enter a valid integer";

这可以放在codeplex项目中,如果需要的话

public static class EnumerableExtensions
{
    [Pure]
    public static U MapReduce<T, U>(this IEnumerable<T> enumerable, Func<T, U> map, Func<U, U, U> reduce)
    {
        CodeContract.RequiresAlways(enumerable != null);
        CodeContract.RequiresAlways(enumerable.Skip(1).Any());
        CodeContract.RequiresAlways(map != null);
        CodeContract.RequiresAlways(reduce != null);
        return enumerable.AsParallel().Select(map).Aggregate(reduce);
    }
    [Pure]
    public static U MapReduce<T, U>(this IList<T> list, Func<T, U> map, Func<U, U, U> reduce)
    {
        CodeContract.RequiresAlways(list != null);
        CodeContract.RequiresAlways(list.Count >= 2);
        CodeContract.RequiresAlways(map != null);
        CodeContract.RequiresAlways(reduce != null);
        U result = map(list[0]);
        for (int i = 1; i < list.Count; i++)
        {
            result = reduce(result,map(list[i]));
        }
        return result;
    }

    //Parallel version; creates garbage
    [Pure]
    public static U MapReduce<T, U>(this IList<T> list, Func<T, U> map, Func<U, U, U> reduce)
    {
        CodeContract.RequiresAlways(list != null);
        CodeContract.RequiresAlways(list.Skip(1).Any());
        CodeContract.RequiresAlways(map != null);
        CodeContract.RequiresAlways(reduce != null);

        U[] mapped = new U[list.Count];
        Parallel.For(0, mapped.Length, i =>
            {
                mapped[i] = map(list[i]);
            });
        U result = mapped[0];
        for (int i = 1; i < list.Count; i++)
        {
            result = reduce(result, mapped[i]);
        }
        return result;
    }

}

通过操作系统文件系统信息比较文件/目录。这对于比较共享和本地文件非常有用。

用法:

DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\test\myShareDir");
Console.WriteLine(dir.IsSameFileAs(@"\\myMachineName\myShareDir"));

FileInfo file = new FileInfo(@"C:\test\myShareDir\file.txt");
Console.WriteLine(file.IsSameFileAs(@"\\myMachineName\myShareDir\file.txt"));

代码:

public static class FileExtensions
{
    struct BY_HANDLE_FILE_INFORMATION
    {
        public uint FileAttributes;
        public System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes.FILETIME CreationTime;
        public System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes.FILETIME LastAccessTime;
        public System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes.FILETIME LastWriteTime;

        public uint FileSizeHigh;
        public uint FileSizeLow;
        public uint NumberOfLinks;
        public uint FileIndexHigh;
        public uint FileIndexLow;
    }

    //

    //
    const uint FILE_SHARE_READ = 0x00000001;
    const uint OPEN_EXISTING = 3;
    const uint GENERIC_READ = (0x80000000);
    const uint FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS = 0x02000000;


    [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]

        uint dwFlagsAndAttributes,
        IntPtr hTemplateFile);

    [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
    static extern bool GetFileInformationByHandle(IntPtr hFile, out BY_HANDLE_FILE_INFORMATION lpFileInformation);

    public static bool IsSameFileAs(this FileSystemInfo file, string path)
    {
        BY_HANDLE_FILE_INFORMATION fileInfo1, fileInfo2;
        IntPtr ptr1 = CreateFile(file.FullName, GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ, IntPtr.Zero, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS, IntPtr.Zero);
        if ((int)ptr1 == -1)
        {
            System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception e = new System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception(Marshal.GetLastWin32Error());
            throw e;
        }
        IntPtr ptr2 = CreateFile(path, GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ, IntPtr.Zero, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS, IntPtr.Zero);
        if ((int)ptr2 == -1)
        {

            throw e;
        }
        GetFileInformationByHandle(ptr1, out fileInfo1);
        GetFileInformationByHandle(ptr2, out fileInfo2);

        return ((fileInfo1.FileIndexHigh == fileInfo2.FileIndexHigh) &&
            (fileInfo1.FileIndexLow == fileInfo2.FileIndexLow));
    }
}
