For adding multiple elements to a collection that doesn't have AddRange, e.g., collection.Add(item1, item2, itemN); static void Add<T>(this ICollection<T> coll, params T[] items) { foreach (var item in items) coll.Add(item); } The following is like string.Format() but with custom string representation of arguments, e.g., "{0} {1} {2}".Format<Custom>(c=>c.Name,"string",new object(),new Custom()) results in "string {System.Object} Custom1Name" static string Format<T>( this string format , Func<T,object> select , params object[] args) { for(int i=0; i < args.Length; ++i) { var x = args[i] as T; if (x != null) args[i] = select(x); } return string.Format(format, args); }

我们有一个部署工具可以在不同环境之间进行部署。由于文件可以标记为修改，但实际上没有不同，我想出了这个:

/// <summary>
/// Compares the files to see if they are different. 
/// First checks file size
/// Then modified if the file is larger than the specified size
/// Then compares the bytes
/// </summary>
/// <param name="file1">The source file</param>
/// <param name="file2">The destination file</param>
/// <param name="mb">Skip the smart check if the file is larger than this many megabytes. Default is 10.</param>
/// <returns></returns>
public static bool IsDifferentThan(this FileInfo file1, FileInfo file2, int mb = 10)
{
  var ret = false;

  // different size is a different file
  if(file1.Length != file2.Length) return true;

  // if the file times are different and the file is bigger than 10mb flag it for updating
  if(file1.LastWriteTimeUtc > file2.LastWriteTimeUtc && file1.Length > ((mb*1024)*1024)) return true;

  var f1 = File.ReadAllBytes(file1.FullName);
  var f2 = File.ReadAllBytes(file2.FullName);

  // loop through backwards because if they are different
  // it is more likely that the last few bytes will be different
  // than the first few
  for(var i = file1.Length - 1; i > 0; i--)
  {
    if(f1[i] != f2[i])
    {
      ret = true;
      break;
    }
  }

  return ret;
}

我总是使用格式，希望与StringBuilder的新行，所以下面这个非常简单的扩展节省了几行代码:

public static class Extensions
{
    public static void AppendLine(this StringBuilder builder,string format, params object[] args)
    {
        builder.AppendLine(string.Format(format, args));
    }
}

替代方案是StringBuilder中带\n或Environment.NewLine的AppendFormat。

将字符串的长度减少到toLength，并在缩短的字符串的末尾添加一个额外的字符串，以表示字符串被缩短(默认值…)

public static string Shorten(this string str, int toLength, string cutOffReplacement = " ...")
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(str) || str.Length <= toLength)
        return str;
    else
        return str.Remove(toLength) + cutOffReplacement;
}

这是罗马数字的to-and-from。不常用，但可能很方便。用法:

if ("IV".IsValidRomanNumeral())
{
   // Do useful stuff with the number 4.
}

Console.WriteLine("MMMDCCCLXXXVIII".ParseRomanNumeral());
Console.WriteLine(3888.ToRomanNumeralString());

源:

    public static class RomanNumeralExtensions
    {
        private const int NumberOfRomanNumeralMaps = 13;

        private static readonly Dictionary<string, int> romanNumerals =
            new Dictionary<string, int>(NumberOfRomanNumeralMaps)

                throw new ArgumentNullException("value");
            }

            value = value.ToUpperInvariant().Trim();

            var length = value.Length;

            {

            }

            var total = 0;
            var i = length;

            while (i > 0)
            {
                var digit = romanNumerals[value[--i].ToString()];

                if (i > 0)
                {
                    var previousDigit = romanNumerals[value[i - 1].ToString()];

                    if (previousDigit < digit)
                    {
                        digit -= previousDigit;

                }

                total += digit;

            return total;

        public static string ToRomanNumeralString(this int value)
        {

这些有用吗?

public static bool CoinToss(this Random rng)
{
    return rng.Next(2) == 0;
}

public static T OneOf<T>(this Random rng, params T[] things)
{
    return things[rng.Next(things.Length)];
}

Random rand;
bool luckyDay = rand.CoinToss();
string babyName = rand.OneOf("John", "George", "Radio XBR74 ROCKS!");
