一些方便的字符串助手:

用法:

我讨厌不需要的空格尾随或引导字符串,因为字符串可以采取空值,这可能是棘手的,所以我使用这个:

public bool IsGroup { get { return !this.GroupName.IsNullOrTrimEmpty(); } }

这是另一个扩展方法,我使用一个新的验证框架,我正在试验。你可以看到regex扩展,帮助清理凌乱的regex:

public static bool IsRequiredWithLengthLessThanOrEqualNoSpecial(this String str, int length)
{
    return !str.IsNullOrTrimEmpty() &&
        str.RegexMatch(
            @"^[- \r\n\\\.!:*,@$%&""?\(\)\w']{1,{0}}$".RegexReplace(@"\{0\}", length.ToString()),
            RegexOptions.Multiline) == str;
}

    public static bool IsNullOrTrimEmpty(this String helper)
    {
        if (helper == null)
            return true;
        else
            return String.Empty == helper.Trim();

    public static int TrimLength(this String helper)
    {
        return helper.Trim().Length;

    {
        if (groupName.IsNullOrTrimEmpty())
            return Regex.Match(helper, pattern, options).Value;
        else
            return Regex.Match(helper, pattern, options).Groups[groupName].Value;
    }

    public static string RegexMatch(this String helper, string pattern)
    {
        return RegexMatch(helper, pattern, RegexOptions.None, null);
    }

    public static string RegexMatch(this String helper, string pattern, RegexOptions options)
    {
        return RegexMatch(helper, pattern, options, null);
    }

    public static string RegexMatch(this String helper, string pattern, string groupName)
    {
        return RegexMatch(helper, pattern, RegexOptions.None, groupName);
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Returns true if there is a match from the regex pattern
    /// </summary>
    public static bool IsRegexMatch(this String helper, string pattern, RegexOptions options)
    {
        return helper.RegexMatch(pattern, options).Length > 0;
    }

    public static bool IsRegexMatch(this String helper, string pattern)
    {
        return helper.IsRegexMatch(pattern, RegexOptions.None);
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Returns a string where matching patterns are replaced by the replacement string.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="pattern">The regex pattern for matching the items to be replaced</param>
    /// <param name="replacement">The string to replace matching items</param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public static string RegexReplace(this String helper, string pattern, string replacement, RegexOptions options)
    {
        return Regex.Replace(helper, pattern, replacement, options);
    }

    public static string RegexReplace(this String helper, string pattern, string replacement)
    {
        return Regex.Replace(helper, pattern, replacement, RegexOptions.None);
    }
}

我喜欢做很多正则表达式,所以我认为这些比添加using语句和额外的代码来处理命名组更容易。

字符串。As<T>,可用于将字符串值转换为某种类型(主要用于支持IConvertable的原语和类型)。工作伟大的空类型,甚至枚举!

public static partial class StringExtensions
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Converts the string to the specified type, using the default value configured for the type.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">Type the string will be converted to. The type must implement IConvertable.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="original">The original string.</param>
    /// <returns>The converted value.</returns>
    public static T As<T>(this String original)
    {
        return As(original, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture,
                  default(T));
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Converts the string to the specified type, using the default value configured for the type.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">Type the string will be converted to.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="original">The original string.</param>
    /// <param name="defaultValue">The default value to use in case the original string is null or empty, or can't be converted.</param>
    /// <returns>The converted value.</returns>
    public static T As<T>(this String original, T defaultValue)
    {
        return As(original, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, defaultValue);
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Converts the string to the specified type, using the default value configured for the type.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">Type the string will be converted to.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="original">The original string.</param>
    /// <param name="provider">Format provider used during the type conversion.</param>
    /// <returns>The converted value.</returns>
    public static T As<T>(this String original, IFormatProvider provider)
    {
        return As(original, provider, default(T));
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Converts the string to the specified type.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">Type the string will be converted to.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="original">The original string.</param>
    /// <param name="provider">Format provider used during the type conversion.</param>
    /// <param name="defaultValue">The default value to use in case the original string is null or empty, or can't be converted.</param>
    /// <returns>The converted value.</returns>
    /// <remarks>
    /// If an error occurs while converting the specified value to the requested type, the exception is caught and the default is returned. It is strongly recommended you
    /// do NOT use this method if it is important that conversion failures are not swallowed up.
    ///
    /// This method is intended to be used to convert string values to primatives, not for parsing, converting, or deserializing complex types.
    /// </remarks>
    public static T As<T>(this String original, IFormatProvider provider,
                          T defaultValue)
    {
        T result;
        Type type = typeof (T);

        if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(original)) result = defaultValue;
        else
        {
            // need to get the underlying type if T is Nullable<>.

            if (type.IsNullableType())
            {
                type = Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(type);
            }

            try
            {
                // ChangeType doesn't work properly on Enums
                result = type.IsEnum
                             ? (T) Enum.Parse(type, original, true)
                             : (T) Convert.ChangeType(original, type, provider);
            }
            catch // HACK: what can we do to minimize or avoid raising exceptions as part of normal operation? custom string parsing (regex?) for well-known types? it would be best to know if you can convert to the desired type before you attempt to do so.
            {
                result = defaultValue;
            }
        }

        return result;
    }
}

这依赖于Type的另一个简单扩展:

/// <summary>
/// Extension methods for <see cref="Type"/>.
/// </summary>
public static class TypeExtensions
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Returns whether or not the specified type is <see cref="Nullable{T}"/>.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="type">A <see cref="Type"/>.</param>
    /// <returns>True if the specified type is <see cref="Nullable{T}"/>; otherwise, false.</returns>
    /// <remarks>Use <see cref="Nullable.GetUnderlyingType"/> to access the underlying type.</remarks>
    public static bool IsNullableType(this Type type)
    {
        if (type == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("type");

        return type.IsGenericType && type.GetGenericTypeDefinition().Equals(typeof (Nullable<>));
    }
}

用法:

var someInt = "1".As<int>();
var someIntDefault = "bad value".As(1); // "bad value" won't convert, so the default value 1 is returned.
var someEnum = "Sunday".As<DayOfWeek>();
someEnum = "0".As<DayOfWeek>(); // returns Sunday
var someNullableEnum = "".As<DayOfWeek?>(null); // returns a null value since "" can't be converted

与时间跨度相关的扩展,如:

public static TimeSpan Seconds(this int seconds)
{
  return TimeSpan.FromSeconds(seconds);
}

public static TimeSpan Minutes(this int minutes)
{
  return TimeSpan.FromMinutes(minutes);
}

允许使用:

1.Seconds()
20.Minutes()

像这样的锁定扩展:

public static IDisposable GetReadLock(this ReaderWriterLockSlim slimLock)
{
  slimLock.EnterReadLock();
  return new DisposableAction(slimLock.ExitReadLock);
}

public static IDisposable GetWriteLock(this ReaderWriterLockSlim slimLock)
{
  slimLock.EnterWriteLock();
  return new DisposableAction(slimLock.ExitWriteLock);
}

public static IDisposable GetUpgradeableReadLock(this ReaderWriterLockSlim slimLock)
{
  slimLock.EnterUpgradeableReadLock();
  return new DisposableAction(slimLock.ExitUpgradeableReadLock);
}

允许使用像这样的锁:

using (lock.GetUpgradeableReadLock())
{
  // try read
  using (lock.GetWriteLock())
  {
    //do write
  }
}

还有许多来自Lokad共享图书馆的其他书籍

我使用这个扩展方法通常与匿名类型,以获得一个字典ala ruby

public static Dictionary<string, object> ToDictionary(this object o)
{
    var dictionary = new Dictionary<string, object>();

    foreach (var propertyInfo in o.GetType().GetProperties())
    {
        if (propertyInfo.GetIndexParameters().Length == 0)
        {
            dictionary.Add(propertyInfo.Name, propertyInfo.GetValue(o, null));
        }
    }

    return dictionary;
}

你可以使用它

var dummy = new { color = "#000000", width = "100%", id = "myid" };
Dictionary<string, object> dict = dummy.ToDictionary();

用扩展的方法

public static void ForEach<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source, Action<T> action)
{
    foreach (T item in source)
    {
        action(item);
    }
}

你可以做到的

dummy.ToDictionary().ForEach((p) => Console.Write("{0}='{1}' ", p.Key, p.Value));

输出

Color ='#000000' width='100%' id='myid'

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。

我在我的web项目中使用这些,主要是MVC。我为ViewData和TempData写了一些这样的代码

/// <summary>
/// Checks the Request.QueryString for the specified value and returns it, if none 
/// is found then the default value is returned instead
/// </summary>
public static T QueryValue<T>(this HtmlHelper helper, string param, T defaultValue) {
    object value = HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString[param] as object;
    if (value == null) { return defaultValue; }
    try {
        return (T)Convert.ChangeType(value, typeof(T));
    } catch (Exception) {
        return defaultValue;
    }
}

这样我就可以写……

<% if (Html.QueryValue("login", false)) { %>
    <div>Welcome Back!</div>

<% } else { %>
    <%-- Render the control or something --%>

<% } %>
