我觉得这个很有用:

public static class PaulaBean
{
    private static String paula = "Brillant";
    public static String GetPaula<T>(this T obj) {
        return paula;
    }
}

你可以在CodePlex上使用它。

到目前为止，我刚刚浏览了所有4页，我很惊讶，我没有看到这种方式来缩短检查InvokeRequired:

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

/// <summary>
/// Extension methods acting on Control objects.
/// </summary>
internal static class ControlExtensionMethods
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Invokes the given action on the given control's UI thread, if invocation is needed.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="control">Control on whose UI thread to possibly invoke.</param>
    /// <param name="action">Action to be invoked on the given control.</param>
    public static void MaybeInvoke(this Control control, Action action)
    {
        if (control != null && control.InvokeRequired)
        {
            control.Invoke(action);
        }
        else
        {
            action();
        }
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Maybe Invoke a Func that returns a value.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">Return type of func.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="control">Control on which to maybe invoke.</param>
    /// <param name="func">Function returning a value, to invoke.</param>
    /// <returns>The result of the call to func.</returns>
    public static T MaybeInvoke<T>(this Control control, Func<T> func)
    {
        if (control != null && control.InvokeRequired)
        {
            return (T)(control.Invoke(func));
        }
        else
        {
            return func();
        }
    }
}

用法:

myForm.MaybeInvoke(() => this.Text = "Hello world");

// Sometimes the control might be null, but that's okay.
var dialogResult = this.Parent.MaybeInvoke(() => MessageBox.Show(this, "Yes or no?", "Choice", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo));

我想我以前在什么地方见过这个，但在这里找不到。MS在dictionary接口上有一个TryGetValue函数，但是它返回一个bool值，并在一个out参数中给出值，所以这里有一个更简单，更清晰的实现:

public static TVal GetValueOrDefault<TKey, TVal>(this IDictionary<TKey, TVal> d, TKey key) {
  if (d.ContainsKey(key))
    return d[key];
  return default(TVal);
}

还有一点:

public enum ParseFailBehavior
{
   ReturnNull,
   ReturnDefault,
   ThrowException
}

public static T? ParseNullableEnum<T>(this string theValue, ParseFailBehavior desiredBehavior = ParseFailBehavior.ReturnNull) where T:struct
{
   T output;
   T? result = Enum.TryParse<T>(theValue, out output) 
      ? (T?)output
      : desiredBehavior == ParseFailBehavior.ReturnDefault
         ? (T?)default(T)
         : null;

   if(result == null && desiredBehavior == ParseFailBehavior.ThrowException)
      throw new ArgumentException("Parse Failed for value {0} of enum type {1}".
         FormatWith(theValue, typeof(T).Name));       
}

这个版本需要。net 4.0;在3.5中你没有TryParse和可选参数;你就只能使用enumel . parse()，你必须尝试捕获它。它在3.5中仍然是完全可行的(而且更有用，因为enumel . parse()是oogly的，也是你唯一的其他选择):

public static T? ParseNummableEnum<T>(this string theValue)
{
    return theValue.ParseNullableEnum<T>(ParseFailBehavior.ReturnNull);
}

public static T? ParseNullableEnum<T>(this string theValue, 
    ParseFailBehavior desiredBehavior) where T:struct
{
    try
    {
        return (T?) Enum.Parse(typeof (T), theValue);
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
        if(desiredBehavior == ParseFailBehavior.ThrowException) throw;
    }

    return desiredBehavior == ParseFailBehavior.ReturnDefault ? (T?)default(T) : null;
}

用法:

//returns null if OptionOne isn't an enum constant
var myEnum = "OptionOne".ParseNullableEnum<OptionEnum>(); 

//guarantees a return value IF the enum has a "zero" constant value (generally a good practice)
var myEnum = "OptionTwo".ParseNullableEnum<OptionEnum>(ParseFailBehavior.ReturnDefault).Value 

有时需要有类的实例，不管是否有效，但不是null

public static T Safe<T>(this T obj) where T : new()
{
    if (obj == null)
    {
        obj = new T();
    }

    return obj;
}

用法如下:

MyClass myClass = Provider.GetSomeResult();
string temp = myClass.Safe().SomeValue;

而不是:

MyClass myClass = Provider.GetSomeResult();
string temp = "some default value";
if (myClass != null)
{
        temp = myClass.SomeValue;
}

如果是口是心非的话，我很抱歉，但我没有找到。

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;
}
