我很失望，. net框架更倾向于将文件和目录表示为字符串而不是对象，而且FileInfo和DirectoryInfo类型并不像我希望的那样强大。因此，我开始根据需要编写流畅的扩展方法，例如:

public static FileInfo SetExtension(this FileInfo fileInfo, string extension)
{
    return new FileInfo(Path.ChangeExtension(fileInfo.FullName, extension));
}

public static FileInfo SetDirectory(this FileInfo fileInfo, string directory)
{
    return new FileInfo(Path.Combine(directory, fileInfo.Name));
}

是的，你可以把这个放进codeplex

static string Format( this string str,
                    , params Expression<Func<string,object>>[] args)
{
    var parameters = args.ToDictionary
                        ( e=>string.Format("{{{0}}}",e.Parameters[0].Name)
                        , e=>e.Compile()(e.Parameters[0].Name));

    var sb = new StringBuilder(str);
    foreach(var kv in parameters)
    {
        sb.Replace( kv.Key
                  , kv.Value != null ? kv.Value.ToString() : "");
    }

    return sb.ToString();
}

有了上面的扩展，你可以这样写:

var str = "{foo} {bar} {baz}".Format(foo=>foo, bar=>2, baz=>new object());

你会得到"foo 2 System.Object"。

这是另一个控制扩展，我一直在使用，虽然我不知道它是否张贴在这里之前。

public static class ControlExtensions
{
    public static void DoubleBuffer(this Control control) 
    {
        // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/76993/how-to-double-buffer-net-controls-on-a-form/77233#77233
        // Taxes: Remote Desktop Connection and painting: http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2006/01/03/508694.aspx

        if (System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation.TerminalServerSession) return;
        System.Reflection.PropertyInfo dbProp = typeof(System.Windows.Forms.Control).GetProperty("DoubleBuffered", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance);
        dbProp.SetValue(control, true, null);
    }
}

用法:

this.someControl.DoubleBuffer();

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!

字符串。As<T>，可用于将字符串值转换为某种类型(主要用于支持IConvertable的原语和类型)。工作伟大的空类型，甚至枚举!

public static partial class StringExtensions
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Converts the string to the specified type, using the default value configured for the type.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">Type the string will be converted to. The type must implement IConvertable.</typeparam>

    {
        return As(original, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture,
                  default(T));
    }

    {
        return As(original, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, defaultValue);
    }

    public static T As<T>(this String original, IFormatProvider provider)
    {
        return As(original, provider, default(T));
    }

                          T defaultValue)
    {
        T result;
        Type type = typeof (T);

        if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(original)) result = defaultValue;
        else
        {
            // need to get the underlying type if T is Nullable<>.

            if (type.IsNullableType())
            {
                type = Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(type);
            }

            try
            {
                // ChangeType doesn't work properly on Enums
                result = type.IsEnum
                             ? (T) Enum.Parse(type, original, true)
                             : (T) Convert.ChangeType(original, type, provider);
            }
            catch // HACK: what can we do to minimize or avoid raising exceptions as part of normal operation? custom string parsing (regex?) for well-known types? it would be best to know if you can convert to the desired type before you attempt to do so.
            {
                result = defaultValue;
            }
        }

        return result;
    }
}

这依赖于Type的另一个简单扩展:

/// <summary>
/// Extension methods for <see cref="Type"/>.
/// </summary>
public static class TypeExtensions
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Returns whether or not the specified type is <see cref="Nullable{T}"/>.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="type">A <see cref="Type"/>.</param>
    /// <returns>True if the specified type is <see cref="Nullable{T}"/>; otherwise, false.</returns>
    /// <remarks>Use <see cref="Nullable.GetUnderlyingType"/> to access the underlying type.</remarks>
    public static bool IsNullableType(this Type type)
    {
        if (type == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("type");

        return type.IsGenericType && type.GetGenericTypeDefinition().Equals(typeof (Nullable<>));
    }
}

用法:

var someInt = "1".As<int>();
var someIntDefault = "bad value".As(1); // "bad value" won't convert, so the default value 1 is returned.
var someEnum = "Sunday".As<DayOfWeek>();
someEnum = "0".As<DayOfWeek>(); // returns Sunday
var someNullableEnum = "".As<DayOfWeek?>(null); // returns a null value since "" can't be converted

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;
}
