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());
}

一些DataSet/DataRow扩展，使使用db结果更简单

只需在DataRow上使用. field ("fieldname")，如果可以，它将强制转换它，可选的默认值可以包括在内。

还有DataSet上的. hasrows()，这样你就不需要检查表和行的存在。

例子:

using (DataSet ds = yourcall()) 
{
  if (ds.HasRows())
  {
     foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
     {
        int id = dr.Field<int>("ID");
        string name = dr.Field<string>("Name");
        string Action = dr.Field<string>("Action", "N/A");
     }
  }
}

代码:

using System;
using System.Data;

public static class DataSetExtensions
{
    public static T Field<T>(this DataRow row, string columnName, T defaultValue)
    {
        try
        {
            return row.Field<T>(columnName);
        }
        catch
        {
            return defaultValue;
        }
    }

    public static T Field<T>(this DataRow row, string columnName)
    {
        if (row[columnName] == null)
            throw new NullReferenceException(columnName + " does not exist in DataRow");

        string value = row[columnName].ToString();

        if (typeof(T) == "".GetType())
        {
            return (T)Convert.ChangeType(value, typeof(T));
        }
        else if (typeof(T) == 0.GetType())
        {
            return (T)Convert.ChangeType(int.Parse(value), typeof(T));
        }
        else if (typeof(T) == false.GetType())
        {
            return (T)Convert.ChangeType(bool.Parse(value), typeof(T));
        }
        else if (typeof(T) == DateTime.Now.GetType())
        {
            return (T)Convert.ChangeType(DateTime.Parse(value), typeof(T));
        }
        else if (typeof(T) == new byte().GetType())
        {
            return (T)Convert.ChangeType(byte.Parse(value), typeof(T));
        }
        else if (typeof(T) == new float().GetType())
        {
            return (T)Convert.ChangeType(float.Parse(value), typeof(T));
        }
        else
        {
            throw new ArgumentException(string.Format("Cannot cast '{0}' to '{1}'.", value, typeof(T).ToString()));
        }
    }

    public static bool HasRows(this DataSet dataSet) 
    {
        return (dataSet.Tables.Count > 0 && dataSet.Tables[0].Rows.Count > 0);
    }
}

我经常用这个…

原始代码:

if (guid != Guid.Empty) return guid;
else return Guid.NewGuid();

新代码:

return guid.NewGuidIfEmpty();

扩展方法:

public static Guid NewGuidIfEmpty(this Guid uuid)
{
    return (uuid != Guid.Empty ? uuid : Guid.NewGuid());
}

// Values ordered true/false
// True/false values separated by a capital letter
// Only two values allowed
// ---------------------------
// Limited, but could be useful
public enum BooleanFormat
{
    OneZero,
    YN,
    YesNo,
    TF,
    TrueFalse,
    PassFail,
    YepNope
}

public static class BooleanExtension
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Converts the boolean value of this instance to the specified string value. 
    /// </summary>
    private static string ToString(this bool value, string passValue, string failValue)
    {
        return value ? passValue : failValue;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Converts the boolean value of this instance to a string. 
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="booleanFormat">A BooleanFormat value. 
    /// Example: BooleanFormat.PassFail would return "Pass" if true and "Fail" if false.</param>
    /// <returns>Boolean formatted string</returns>
    public static string ToString(this bool value, BooleanFormat booleanFormat)
    {
        string booleanFormatString = Enum.GetName(booleanFormat.GetType(), booleanFormat);
        return ParseBooleanString(value, booleanFormatString);      
    }

    // Parses boolean format strings, not optimized
    private static string ParseBooleanString(bool value, string booleanFormatString)
    {
        StringBuilder trueString = new StringBuilder();
        StringBuilder falseString = new StringBuilder();

        int charCount = booleanFormatString.Length;

        bool isTrueString = true;

        for (int i = 0; i != charCount; i++)
        {
            if (char.IsUpper(booleanFormatString[i]) && i != 0)
                isTrueString = false;

            if (isTrueString)
                trueString.Append(booleanFormatString[i]);
            else
                falseString.Append(booleanFormatString[i]);
        }

        return (value == true ? trueString.ToString() : falseString.ToString());
    }

这是一个位图扩展，可以将位图转换为灰度;

public static Bitmap GrayScale(this Bitmap bitmap)
{
    Bitmap newBitmap = new Bitmap(bitmap.Width, bitmap.Height);
    Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(newBitmap);

    //the grayscale ColorMatrix
    ColorMatrix colorMatrix = new ColorMatrix(new float[][] {
            new float[] {.3f, .3f, .3f, 0, 0},
            new float[] {.59f, .59f, .59f, 0, 0},
            new float[] {.11f, .11f, .11f, 0, 0},
            new float[] {0, 0, 0, 1, 0},
            new float[] {0, 0, 0, 0, 1}
    });

    ImageAttributes attributes = new ImageAttributes();
    attributes.SetColorMatrix(colorMatrix);
    g.DrawImage(bitmap, new Rectangle(0, 0, bitmap.Width, bitmap.Height), 0, 0, bitmap.Width, bitmap.Height, GraphicsUnit.Pixel, attributes);
    g.Dispose();
    return newBitmap;
}

示例用法:

Bitmap grayscaled = bitmap.GrayScale()

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
  }
}
