        if (!t.IsEnum) {

        }

        return (T)Enum.Parse(t, value, ignorecase);

}

将字符串解析为Enum很有用。

public enum TestEnum
{
    Bar,
    Test
}

public class Test
{
    public void Test()
    {
        TestEnum foo = "Test".EnumParse<TestEnum>();
    }
 }

这要归功于斯科特·多尔曼

——编辑Codeplex项目——

我问过Scott Dorman，他是否介意我们在Codeplex项目中发布他的代码。我从他那里得到的回答是:

感谢你对SO帖子和CodePlex项目的提醒。我赞成你对这个问题的回答。是的，代码目前在CodeProject开放许可证(http://www.codeproject.com/info/cpol10.aspx)下有效地处于公共领域。 我没有问题，这被包括在CodePlex项目，如果你想把我添加到项目(用户名是sdorman)，我会添加该方法加上一些额外的枚举助手方法。

有时使用自定义分隔符在列表中选中的元素上写出字符串是很方便的。

例如，如果你有一个List<Person>并且想要用逗号分隔姓氏，你可以这样做。

string result = string.Empty;
foreach (var person in personList) {
   result += person.LastName + ", ";
}
result = result.Substring(0, result.Length - 2);
return result;

或者你可以使用这个方便的扩展方法

public static string Join<T>(this IEnumerable<T> collection, Func<T, string> func, string separator)
{
  return String.Join(separator, collection.Select(func).ToArray());
}

像这样使用它

personList.Join(x => x.LastName, ", ");

这将产生相同的结果，在本例中是由逗号分隔的姓氏列表。

轻松序列化对象为XML:

public static string ToXml<T>(this T obj) where T : class
{
    XmlSerializer s = new XmlSerializer(obj.GetType());
    using (StringWriter writer = new StringWriter())
    {
        s.Serialize(writer, obj);
        return writer.ToString();
    }
}

"<root><child>foo</child</root>".ToXml<MyCustomType>();

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。

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。
