空格规范化非常有用，特别是在处理用户输入时:

namespace Extensions.String
{
    using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

    public static class Extensions
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Normalizes whitespace in a string.
        /// Leading/Trailing whitespace is eliminated and
        /// all sequences of internal whitespace are reduced to
        /// a single SP (ASCII 0x20) character.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="s">The string whose whitespace is to be normalized</param>
        /// <returns>a normalized string</returns>
        public static string NormalizeWS( this string @this )
        {
            string src        = @this ?? "" ;
            string normalized = rxWS.Replace( src , m =>{
                  bool isLeadingTrailingWS = ( m.Index == 0 || m.Index+m.Length == src.Length ? true : false ) ;
                  string p                 = ( isLeadingTrailingWS ? "" : " " ) ;
                  return p ;
                }) ;

            return normalized ;

        }
        private static Regex rxWS = new Regex( @"\s+" ) ;

有几次我发现自己想要Groovy的“安全导航”之类的东西。

从http://groovy.codehaus.org/Statements:

如果你在行走一个复杂的物体 图和不想要的 你可以抛出nullpointerexception 使用?。操作员而不是。来 执行导航。 Def foo = null Def bar = .myMethod()断言条 = =零

那么，您认为为它添加扩展方法是一个好主意吗? 喜欢的东西:

obj.SafelyNavigate(x => x.SomeProperty.MaybeAMethod().AnotherProperty);

我认为即使它也会带来一些麻烦，这也很好。

如果你认为这是个好主意:

您认为值类型应该发生什么?， 返回默认吗?扔吗?，通过泛型约束禁用它? 吞咽NullReferenceException来实现它会太冒险吗?， 你有什么建议?， 遍历表达式树执行每个调用或成员访问似乎很困难，而且有点过度(如果可能的话)，不是吗?

也许这只是一个坏主意:D，但我认为如果做得对，它是有用的。 如果没有类似的东西，你认为它有一些价值，我可能会给它一个机会，然后编辑答案。

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

在将表单输入放入数据库之前解析表单输入时，这些扩展方法对我来说非常有用

public static int? ToInt(this string input)

public static DateTime? ToDate(this string input)
{
    DateTime val;
    if (DateTime.TryParse(input, out val))

public static decimal? ToDecimal(this string input)
{
    decimal val;
    if (decimal.TryParse(input, out val))
        return val;
    return null;
}
