一些工具IEnumerable: ToString(格式)，ToString(函数)和Join(分隔符)。

例如:

var names = new[] { "Wagner", "Francine", "Arthur", "Bernardo" };

names.ToString("Name: {0}\n");
// Name: Wagner
// Name: Francine
// Name: Arthur
// Name: Bernardo

names.ToString(name => name.Length > 6 ? String.Format("{0} ", name) : String.Empty);
// Francine Bernardo

names.Join(" - ");
// Wagner - Francine - Arthur - Bernardo

扩展:

public static string ToString<T>(this IEnumerable<T> self, string format)
{
    return self.ToString(i => String.Format(format, i));
}

public static string ToString<T>(this IEnumerable<T> self, Func<T, object> function)
{
    var result = new StringBuilder();

    foreach (var item in self) result.Append(function(item));

    return result.ToString();
}

public static string Join<T>(this IEnumerable<T> self, string separator)
{
    return String.Join(separator, values: self.ToArray());
}

我使用的两种颜色扩展，主要用于控件开发:

public static class ColorExtensions
{
  // Gets a color that will be readable on top of a given background color
  public static Color GetForegroundColor(this Color input)
  {
    // Math taken from one of the replies to
    // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2241447/make-foregroundcolor-black-or-white-depending-on-background
    if (Math.Sqrt(input.R * input.R * .241 + input.G * input.G * .691 + input.B * input.B * .068) > 128)
      return Color.Black;
    else
      return Color.White;
  }

  // Converts a given Color to gray
  public static Color ToGray(this Color input)
  {
    int g = (int)(input.R * .299) + (int)(input.G * .587) + (int)(input.B * .114);
    return Color.FromArgb(input.A, g, g, g);
  }
}

用法:

Color foreColor = someBackColor.GetForegroundColor();
Color grayColor = someBackColor.ToGray();

public static class StringHelper
{
    public static String F(this String str, params object[] args)
    {
        return String.Format(str, args);
    }
}

使用:

"Say {0}".F("Hello");

ASP。NET中，我使用这些扩展httpessionstate来加载会话中的对象。 它允许您以干净的方式加载会话对象，如果它们不存在，则将创建和初始化它们。 我使用两个扩展方法，如下所示:

private bool CreateMode;
private MyClass SomeClass;

protected override void OnInit (EventArgs e)
{
    CreateMode = Session.GetSessionValue<bool> ("someKey1", () => true);
    SomeClass = Session.GetSessionClass<MyClass> ("someKey2", () => new MyClass () 
    { 
       MyProperty = 123 
    });
}

下面是扩展类:

public static class SessionExtensions    
{
    public delegate object UponCreate ();
    public static T GetSessionClass<T> (this HttpSessionState session, 
       string key, UponCreate uponCreate) where T : class
    {
        if (null == session[key])
        {
            var item = uponCreate () as T;
            session[key] = item;
            return item;
        }
        return session[key] as T;
    }
    public static T GetSessionValue<T> (this HttpSessionState session, 
       string key, UponCreate uponCreate) where T : struct
    {
        if (null == session[key])
        {
            var item = uponCreate();
            session[key] = item;
            return (T)item;
        }
        return (T)session[key];
    }
}

这些扩展方法异步调用事件。他们受到了StackOverflow的启发。

/// <summary>
/// Invoke an event asynchronously. Each subscriber to the event will be invoked on a separate thread.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="someEvent">The event to be invoked asynchronously.</param>
/// <param name="sender">The sender of the event.</param>
/// <param name="args">The args of the event.</param>
/// <typeparam name="TEventArgs">The type of <see cref="EventArgs"/> to be used with the event.</typeparam>
public static void InvokeAsync<TEventArgs>(this EventHandler<TEventArgs> someEvent, object sender, TEventArgs args)
    where TEventArgs : EventArgs
{
    if (someEvent == null)
    {
        return;
    }

    var eventListeners = someEvent.GetInvocationList();

    AsyncCallback endAsyncCallback = delegate(IAsyncResult iar)
    {
        var ar = iar as AsyncResult;
        if (ar == null)
        {
            return;
        }

        var invokedMethod = ar.AsyncDelegate as EventHandler<TEventArgs>;
        if (invokedMethod != null)
        {
            invokedMethod.EndInvoke(iar);
        }
    };

    foreach (EventHandler<TEventArgs> methodToInvoke in eventListeners)
    {
        methodToInvoke.BeginInvoke(sender, args, endAsyncCallback, null);
    }
}

/// <summary>
/// Invoke an event asynchronously. Each subscriber to the event will be invoked on a separate thread.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="someEvent">The event to be invoked asynchronously.</param>
/// <param name="sender">The sender of the event.</param>
/// <param name="args">The args of the event.</param>
public static void InvokeAsync(this EventHandler someEvent, object sender, EventArgs args)
{
    if (someEvent == null)
    {
        return;
    }

    var eventListeners = someEvent.GetInvocationList();

    AsyncCallback endAsyncCallback = delegate(IAsyncResult iar)
    {
        var ar = iar as AsyncResult;
        if (ar == null)
        {
            return;
        }

        var invokedMethod = ar.AsyncDelegate as EventHandler;
        if (invokedMethod != null)
        {
            invokedMethod.EndInvoke(iar);
        }
    };

    foreach (EventHandler methodToInvoke in eventListeners)
    {
        methodToInvoke.BeginInvoke(sender, args, endAsyncCallback, null);
    }
}

使用方法:

public class Foo
{
    public event EventHandler<EventArgs> Bar;

    public void OnBar()
    {
        Bar.InvokeAsync(this, EventArgs.Empty);
    }
}

请注意，在调用事件之前，您不必检查事件是否为空。例如:

EventHandler<EventArgs> handler = Bar;
if (handler != null)
{
    // Invoke the event
}

测试:

void Main()
{
    EventHandler<EventArgs> handler1 =
    delegate(object sender, EventArgs args)
    {
        // Simulate performing work in handler1
        Thread.Sleep(100);
        Console.WriteLine("Handled 1");
    };

    EventHandler<EventArgs> handler2 =
    delegate(object sender, EventArgs args)
    {
        // Simulate performing work in handler2
        Thread.Sleep(50);
        Console.WriteLine("Handled 2");
    };

    EventHandler<EventArgs> handler3 =
    delegate(object sender, EventArgs args)
    {
        // Simulate performing work in handler3
        Thread.Sleep(25);
        Console.WriteLine("Handled 3");
    };

    var foo = new Foo();
    foo.Bar += handler1;
    foo.Bar += handler2;
    foo.Bar += handler3;
    foo.OnBar();

    Console.WriteLine("Start executing important stuff");

    // Simulate performing some important stuff here, where we don't want to
    // wait around for the event handlers to finish executing
    Thread.Sleep(1000);

    Console.WriteLine("Finished executing important stuff");
}

调用事件将(通常)产生以下输出:

开始执行重要的事情 处理3 处理2 处理1 完成重要的任务

如果事件是同步调用的，它总是会产生这样的输出-并延迟“重要”内容的执行:

处理1 处理2 处理3 开始执行重要的事情 完成重要的任务

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>

    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>

    /// </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
