下面是一个扩展方法，它适应Rick Strahl的代码(以及注释)，使您不必在每次将字节数组或文本文件转换为字符串时猜测或阅读其字节顺序标记。

这个代码片段允许你简单地做:

byte[] buffer = File.ReadAllBytes(@"C:\file.txt");
string content = buffer.GetString();

如果你发现任何错误，请添加到评论中。请随意将它包含在Codeplex项目中。

public static class Extensions
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Converts a byte array to a string, using its byte order mark to convert it to the right encoding.
    /// Original article: http://www.west-wind.com/WebLog/posts/197245.aspx
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="buffer">An array of bytes to convert</param>
    /// <returns>The byte as a string.</returns>
    public static string GetString(this byte[] buffer)
    {
        if (buffer == null || buffer.Length == 0)
            return "";

        // Ansi as default
        Encoding encoding = Encoding.Default;       

        /*
            EF BB BF    UTF-8 
            FF FE UTF-16    little endian

            FF FE 00 00 UTF-32, little endian 
            00 00 FE FF UTF-32, big-endian 
         */

        if (buffer[0] == 0xef && buffer[1] == 0xbb && buffer[2] == 0xbf)
            encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
        else if (buffer[0] == 0xfe && buffer[1] == 0xff)
            encoding = Encoding.Unicode;
        else if (buffer[0] == 0xfe && buffer[1] == 0xff)
            encoding = Encoding.BigEndianUnicode; // utf-16be
        else if (buffer[0] == 0 && buffer[1] == 0 && buffer[2] == 0xfe && buffer[3] == 0xff)
            encoding = Encoding.UTF32;
        else if (buffer[0] == 0x2b && buffer[1] == 0x2f && buffer[2] == 0x76)
            encoding = Encoding.UTF7;

        using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
        {
            stream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
            stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
            using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream, encoding))
            {
                return reader.ReadToEnd();
            }
        }
    }
}

在序列化和配置上，最好使用长DateTime，因此:

    public static readonly DateTime Epoch = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0);

    public static long ToUnixTimestamp(this DateTime dateTime)
    {
        return (long) (dateTime - Epoch).TotalSeconds;
    }

    public static long ToUnixUltraTimestamp(this DateTime dateTime)
    {
        return (long) (dateTime - Epoch).TotalMilliseconds;
    }

和向后

    public static DateTime ToDateTime(this long unixDateTime)
    {
        return Epoch.AddSeconds(unixDateTime);
    }

    public static DateTime ToDateTimeUltra(this long unixUltraDateTime)
    {
        return Epoch.AddMilliseconds(unixUltraDateTime);
    }

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。

这是一个扩展方法的ASP。Net MVC动作链接助手方法，该方法允许它使用控制器的授权属性来决定该链接是否应该从当前用户视图中启用、禁用或隐藏。 I使您不必在检查所有视图中的用户成员资格的“if”子句中包含受限制的操作。感谢Maarten Balliauw的想法和为我指明道路的代码位。

我厌倦了乏味的空检查，而拉值从MySqlDataReader，所以:

public static DateTime? GetNullableDateTime(this MySqlDataReader dr, string fieldName)
{
    DateTime? nullDate = null;
    return dr.IsDBNull(dr.GetOrdinal(fieldName)) ? nullDate : dr.GetDateTime(fieldName);
}

public static string GetNullableString(this MySqlDataReader dr, string fieldName)
{
    return dr.IsDBNull(dr.GetOrdinal(fieldName)) ? String.Empty : dr.GetString(fieldName);
}

public static char? GetNullableChar(this MySqlDataReader dr, string fieldName)
{
    char? nullChar = null;
    return dr.IsDBNull(dr.GetOrdinal(fieldName)) ? nullChar : dr.GetChar(fieldName);
}

当然，这可以用于任何SqlDataReader。

hangy和Joe都对如何做到这一点提出了一些很好的意见，我也有机会在不同的环境中实现类似的东西，所以这里是另一个版本:

public static int? GetNullableInt32(this IDataRecord dr, int ordinal)
{
    int? nullInt = null;
    return dr.IsDBNull(ordinal) ? nullInt : dr.GetInt32(ordinal);
}

public static int? GetNullableInt32(this IDataRecord dr, string fieldname)
{
    int ordinal = dr.GetOrdinal(fieldname);
    return dr.GetNullableInt32(ordinal);
}

public static bool? GetNullableBoolean(this IDataRecord dr, int ordinal)
{
    bool? nullBool = null;
    return dr.IsDBNull(ordinal) ? nullBool : dr.GetBoolean(ordinal);
}

public static bool? GetNullableBoolean(this IDataRecord dr, string fieldname)
{
    int ordinal = dr.GetOrdinal(fieldname);
    return dr.GetNullableBoolean(ordinal);
}

从集合中加载默认设置的一种更简单的方法(在现实生活中，我使用它来填充来自任何来源的设置，包括命令行，ClickOnce URL参数等):

public static void LoadFrom(this ApplicationSettingsBase settings, NameValueCollection configuration)
{
    if (configuration != null)
        foreach (string key in configuration.AllKeys)
            if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(key))
                try
                {
                    settings[key] = configuration.Get(key);
                }
                catch (SettingsPropertyNotFoundException)
                {
                  // handle bad arguments as you wish
                }
}

例子:

Settings.Default.LoadFrom(new NameValueCollection() { { "Setting1", "Value1" }, { "Setting2", "Value2" } });
