使用反射查找TryParse方法并在字符串目标上调用它。可选参数指定转换失败时应返回的内容。我发现这个方法在大多数时候都很有用。很清楚皈依者。ChangeType选项，但我发现这更有用的什么与默认结果方便和什么。请注意，找到的方法保存在字典中，尽管我确实怀疑装箱最终会降低一点速度。

这种方法是我最喜欢的，因为它合理地使用了许多语言特性。

private static readonly Dictionary<Type, MethodInfo> Parsers = new Dictionary<Type, MethodInfo>();

public static T Parse<T>(this string value, T defaultValue = default(T))
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value)) return defaultValue;

    if (!Parsers.ContainsKey(typeof(T)))
        Parsers[typeof (T)] = typeof (T).GetMethods(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static)
            .Where(mi => mi.Name == "TryParse")
            .Single(mi =>
                        {
                            var parameters = mi.GetParameters();
                            if (parameters.Length != 2) return false;
                            return parameters[0].ParameterType == typeof (string) &&
                                   parameters[1].ParameterType == typeof (T).MakeByRefType();
                        });

    var @params = new object[] {value, default(T)};
    return (bool) Parsers[typeof (T)].Invoke(null, @params) ?
        (T) @params[1] : defaultValue;
}

用法:

var hundredTwentyThree = "123".Parse(0);
var badnumber = "test".Parse(-1);
var date = "01/01/01".Parse<DateTime>();

这是另一双我觉得用不完的鞋:

public static T ObjectWithMin<T, TResult>(this IEnumerable<T> sequence, Func<T, TResult> predicate)
    where T : class
    where TResult : IComparable
{
    if (!sequence.Any()) return null;

    //get the first object with its predicate value
    var seed = sequence.Select(x => new {Object = x, Value = predicate(x)}).FirstOrDefault();
    //compare against all others, replacing the accumulator with the lesser value
    //tie goes to first object found
    return
        sequence.Select(x => new {Object = x, Value = predicate(x)})
            .Aggregate(seed,(acc, x) => acc.Value.CompareTo(x.Value) <= 0 ? acc : x).Object;
}

public static T ObjectWithMax<T, TResult>(this IEnumerable<T> sequence, Func<T, TResult> predicate)
    where T : class
    where TResult : IComparable
{
    if (!sequence.Any()) return null;

    //get the first object with its predicate value
    var seed = sequence.Select(x => new {Object = x, Value = predicate(x)}).FirstOrDefault();
    //compare against all others, replacing the accumulator with the greater value
    //tie goes to last object found
    return
        sequence.Select(x => new {Object = x, Value = predicate(x)})
            .Aggregate(seed, (acc, x) => acc.Value.CompareTo(x.Value) > 0 ? acc : x).Object;
}

用法:

var myObject = myList.ObjectWithMin(x=>x.PropA);

这些方法基本上取代了像

var myObject = myList.OrderBy(x=>x.PropA).FirstOrDefault(); //O(nlog(n)) and unstable

and

var myObject = myList.Where(x=>x.PropA == myList.Min(x=>x.PropA)).FirstOrDefault(); //O(N^2) but stable

and

var minValue = myList.Min(x=>x.PropA);
var myObject = myList.Where(x=>x.PropA == minValue).FirstOrDefault(); //not a one-liner, and though linear and stable it's slower (evaluates the enumerable twice)

gitorious.org/cadenza是我所见过的一些最有用的扩展方法的完整库。

内置强制转换的FindControl:

public static T FindControl<T>(this Control control, string id) where T : Control
{
    return (T)control.FindControl(id);
}

这没什么了不起的，但我觉得这样可以写出更简洁的代码。

// With extension method
container.FindControl<TextBox>("myTextBox").SelectedValue = "Hello world!";

// Without extension method
((TextBox)container.FindControl("myTextBox")).SelectedValue = "Hello world!";

这可以放在codeplex项目中，如果需要的话

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); }

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"。
