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 
            FE FF UTF-16    big 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();
            }
        }
    }
}

如果你有波斯语，并且必须用波斯语向用户显示数字:

static public string ToFaString         (this string value)
        {
            // 1728 , 1584
            string result = "";
            if (value != null)
            {
                char[] resChar = value.ToCharArray();
                for (int i = 0; i < resChar.Length; i++)
                {
                    if (resChar[i] >= '0' && resChar[i] <= '9')
                        result += (char)(resChar[i] + 1728);
                    else
                        result += resChar[i];
                }
            }
            return result;
        }

WhereIf()方法

var query = dc.Reviewer 
    .Where(r => r.FacilityID == facilityID) 
    .WhereIf(CheckBoxActive.Checked, r => r.IsActive); 

public static IEnumerable<TSource> WhereIf<TSource>(
    this IEnumerable<TSource> source,
    bool condition, Func<TSource, bool> predicate) 
{ 
    if (condition) 
        return source.Where(predicate); 
    else 
        return source; 
}

public static IQueryable<TSource> WhereIf<TSource>(
    this IQueryable<TSource> source,
    bool condition, Expression<Func<TSource, bool>> predicate) 
{ 
    if (condition) 
        return source.Where(predicate); 
    else 
        return source; 
}

我还为Where()扩展方法中的索引谓词添加了重载。为了更有趣，可以添加包含额外“else”谓词的风味。

我有一个扩展方法记录异常:

public static void Log(this Exception obj)
{
  //your logging logic here
}

它的用法是这样的:

try
{
    //Your stuff here
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
    ex.Log();
}

[抱歉发了两次;第二个设计得更好:-)]

将double类型转换为使用指定区域性格式化的字符串:

public static class ExtensionMethods 
{
  public static string ToCurrency(this double value, string cultureName)
  {
    CultureInfo currentCulture = new CultureInfo(cultureName);
    return (string.Format(currentCulture, "{0:C}", value));
  }
}

例子:

double test = 154.20;
string testString = test.ToCurrency("en-US"); // $154.20

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。
