另一个对我有用的是:

/// <summary>
/// Converts any type in to an Int32
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">Any Object</typeparam>
/// <param name="value">Value to convert</param>
/// <returns>The integer, 0 if unsuccessful</returns>
public static int ToInt32<T>(this T value)
{
  int result;
  if (int.TryParse(value.ToString(), out result))
  {
    return result;
  }
  return 0;
}

/// <summary>
/// Converts any type in to an Int32 but if null then returns the default
/// </summary>
/// <param name="value">Value to convert</param>
/// <typeparam name="T">Any Object</typeparam>
/// <param name="defaultValue">Default to use</param>
/// <returns>The defaultValue if unsuccessful</returns>
public static int ToInt32<T>(this T value, int defaultValue)
{
  int result;
  if (int.TryParse(value.ToString(), out result))
  {
    return result;
  }
  return defaultValue;
}

例子:

int number = "123".ToInt32();

or:

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

GetMemberName允许在编译时安全的情况下获取带有成员名称的字符串。

public static string GetMemberName<T, TResult>(
    this T anyObject, 
    Expression<Func<T, TResult>> expression)
{
    return ((MemberExpression)expression.Body).Member.Name;
}

用法:

"blah".GetMemberName(x => x.Length); // returns "Length"

如果你没有实例，它会和一个非扩展静态方法一起出现:

public static string GetMemberName<T, TReturn>(
    Expression<Func<T, TReturn>> expression)
    where T : class
{
    return ((MemberExpression)expression.Body).Member.Name;
}

当然，这个电话看起来并不漂亮:

ReflectionUtility.GetMemberName((string) s => s.Length); // returns "Length"

如果你愿意，可以用Codeplex。

WhereIf()方法

var query = dc.Reviewer 
    .Where(r => r.FacilityID == facilityID) 
    .WhereIf(CheckBoxActive.Checked, r => r.IsActive); 

public static IEnumerable<TSource> WhereIf<TSource>(
    this IEnumerable<TSource> source,
    bool condition, Func<TSource, bool> predicate) 
{ 
    if (condition) 
        return source.Where(predicate); 
    else 
        return source; 
}

public static IQueryable<TSource> WhereIf<TSource>(
    this IQueryable<TSource> source,
    bool condition, Expression<Func<TSource, bool>> predicate) 
{ 
    if (condition) 
        return source.Where(predicate); 
    else 
        return source; 
}

我还为Where()扩展方法中的索引谓词添加了重载。为了更有趣，可以添加包含额外“else”谓词的风味。

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) 
{
    int val;
    if (int.TryParse(input, out val))
        return val;
    return null;
}

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

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

我厌倦了乏味的空检查，而拉值从MySqlDataReader，所以:

public static DateTime? GetNullableDateTime(this MySqlDataReader dr, string fieldName)
{
    DateTime? nullDate = null;
    return dr.IsDBNull(dr.GetOrdinal(fieldName)) ? nullDate : dr.GetDateTime(fieldName);
}

public static string GetNullableString(this MySqlDataReader dr, string fieldName)
{
    return dr.IsDBNull(dr.GetOrdinal(fieldName)) ? String.Empty : dr.GetString(fieldName);
}

public static char? GetNullableChar(this MySqlDataReader dr, string fieldName)
{
    char? nullChar = null;
    return dr.IsDBNull(dr.GetOrdinal(fieldName)) ? nullChar : dr.GetChar(fieldName);
}

当然，这可以用于任何SqlDataReader。

hangy和Joe都对如何做到这一点提出了一些很好的意见，我也有机会在不同的环境中实现类似的东西，所以这里是另一个版本:

public static int? GetNullableInt32(this IDataRecord dr, int ordinal)
{
    int? nullInt = null;
    return dr.IsDBNull(ordinal) ? nullInt : dr.GetInt32(ordinal);
}

public static int? GetNullableInt32(this IDataRecord dr, string fieldname)
{
    int ordinal = dr.GetOrdinal(fieldname);
    return dr.GetNullableInt32(ordinal);
}

public static bool? GetNullableBoolean(this IDataRecord dr, int ordinal)
{
    bool? nullBool = null;
    return dr.IsDBNull(ordinal) ? nullBool : dr.GetBoolean(ordinal);
}

public static bool? GetNullableBoolean(this IDataRecord dr, string fieldname)
{
    int ordinal = dr.GetOrdinal(fieldname);
    return dr.GetNullableBoolean(ordinal);
}
