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);
    }

灵感来自弦。IsNullOrEmpty

要验证给定的List为空或空

public static bool IsNullOrEmpty<TSource>(this List<TSource> src)
{            
    return (src == null || src.Count == 0);
}

这个是验证给定的两个文件和属性

public static bool Compare(this FileInfo f1, FileInfo f2, string propertyName)
{
    try
    {
        PropertyInfo p1 = f1.GetType().GetProperty(propertyName);
        PropertyInfo p2 = f2.GetType().GetProperty(propertyName);

        if (p1.GetValue(f1, null) == p2.GetValue(f1, null))
            return true;
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        return false;
    }
    return false;
}

像这样使用它

FileInfo fo = new FileInfo("c:\\netlog.txt");
FileInfo f1 = new FileInfo("c:\\regkey.txt");

fo.compare(f1, "CreationTime");

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

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。

  int result;
  if (int.TryParse(value.ToString(), out result))

  }
  return 0;
}

/// <summary>
/// Converts any type in to an Int32 but if null then returns the default

{
  int result;
  if (int.TryParse(value.ToString(), out result))

}

例子:

int number = "123".ToInt32();

or:

int badNumber = "a".ToInt32(100); // Returns 100 since a is nan
