.NET开发中经常用到的扩展方法

整理一下自己经常用到的几个扩展方法，在实际项目中确实好用，节省了不少的工作量。

1  匿名对象转化

在WinForm中，如果涉及较长时间的操作，我们一般会用一个BackgroundWorker来做封装长时间的操作，给它传递一个类型参数。

var parm = new { UserId = txtUserId.Text, UserText = txtText.Text, TabIndex = tabControl.SelectedIndex, CheckUrl = urls, 

SupportFormat = supportFormat, DeleteMHT = chkDelete.Checked, FileFormat=supportFileFormat };
backgroundWorker.RunWorkerAsync(parm);

注意到一点，我这里没有用一个类型，而是用一个匿名类型，以节省类型的定义。这种场景经常遇到，比如这个后台方法需要传三个参数，那个后台方法需要五个参数，如果不用我这个方法，那你需要额外的定义二个类型，分别包含三个参数或是五个参数。

再来看DoWork时，如何使用这个匿名方法

private void backgroundWorker_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
            #region Download 
     backgroundWorker.ReportProgress(10, string.Format("Analyst beginning......"));
     var parm = e.Argument.TolerantCast(new { UserId = string.Empty, UserText = string.Empty, TabIndex = 0, 

CheckUrl = new List<string>(), SupportFormat = string.Empty, DeleteMHT = false, FileFormat=string.Empty});

与RunWorkerAsnyc中传递的参数一样，定义一个匿名类型，各属性放默认值，然后调用TolerantCast方法，即可得到前面传入的值。

这个方法很大的方便了这种使用情景：方法与方法之间需要传递不固定的参数，但是又不愿意重新定义一个新的类型。这个方法不来自于CodeProject，我把它的代码转在下面，供您参考

/// <summary>
/// 转换匿名类型
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T"></typeparam>
/// <param name="o"></param>
/// <param name="example"></param>
/// <returns></returns>
public static T TolerantCast<T>(this object o, T example)
            where T : class
        {
            IComparer<string> comparer = StringComparer.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase;
            //Get constructor with lowest number of parameters and its parameters
            var constructor = typeof (T).GetConstructors(
                BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance
                ).OrderBy(c => c.GetParameters().Length).First();
            var parameters = constructor.GetParameters();

            //Get properties of input object
            var sourceProperties = new List<PropertyInfo>(o.GetType().GetProperties());

            if (parameters.Length > 0)
            {
                var values = new object[parameters.Length];
                for (int i = 0; i < values.Length; i++)
                {
                    Type t = parameters[i].ParameterType;
                    //See if the current parameter is found as a property in the input object
                    var source = sourceProperties.Find(delegate(PropertyInfo item)
                        {
                            return comparer.Compare(item.Name, parameters[i].Name) == 0;
                        });

                    //See if the property is found, is readable, and is not indexed
                    if (source != null && source.CanRead &&
                        source.GetIndexParameters().Length == 0)
                    {
                        //See if the types match.
                        if (source.PropertyType == t)
                        {
                            //Get the value from the property in the input object and save it for use
                            //in the constructor call.
                            values[i] = source.GetValue(o, null);
                            continue;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            //See if the property value from the input object can be converted to
                            //the parameter type
                            try
                            {
                                values[i] = Convert.ChangeType(source.GetValue(o, null), t);
                                continue;
                            }
                            catch
                            {
                                //Impossible. Forget it then.
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    //If something went wrong (i.e. property not found, or property isn't
                    //converted/copied), get a default value.
                    values[i] = t.IsValueType ? Activator.CreateInstance(t) : null;
                }
                //Call the constructor with the collected values and return it.
                return (T) constructor.Invoke(values);
            }
            //Call the constructor without parameters and return the it.
            return (T) constructor.Invoke(null);
        }

2 集合对象上的扩展方法

先看例子，下面的测试方法

var @enum = new[] {1, 2, 3, 4}.AsEnumerable();
var sum = 0;
@enum.ForEach(n => sum += n);

这个扩展方法，可以直接在一个集合上执行一个Lambda表达式，返回结果，相当于有二个参数的Fun<T,T>，来看它的源代码定义

public static void ForEach<T>(this IEnumerable<T> @enum, Action<T> mapFunction)
{
      foreach (var item in @enum) mapFunction(item);
}

 

3 字符串类型上的扩展方法

这里可以做的扩展方法比较多，一个明显的例子就是，依据String类型写的Helper类型方法最多。

来看一个字符串拼凑的例子，平时我们用string.Format这样的写法，如果用下面的扩展方法，看起来更直观一些。

string s = "{0} ought to be enough for {1}.";
string param0 = "64K";
string param1 = "everybody";

string expected = "64K ought to be enough for everybody.";
Assert.AreEqual(expected, s.FormatWith(param0, param1),

这个扩展方法的定义也简单，只有一行代码

/// <summary>
/// Formats a string with two literal placeholders.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="text">The extension text</param>
/// <param name="arg0">Argument 0</param>
/// <param name="arg1">Argument 1</param>
/// <returns>The formatted string</returns>
public static string FormatWith(this string text, object arg0, object arg1)
{
         return string.Format(text, arg0, arg1);
}

可以考虑把参数延长到任意个，改写这个扩展方法，也只需要一行代码皆可

/// <summary>
/// Formats a string with two literal placeholders.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="text">The extension text</param>
/// <param name="arg0">Argument 0</param>
/// <param name="arg1">Argument 1</param>
/// <returns>The formatted string</returns>
public static string FormatWith(this string text, params object[] args))
{
         return string.Format(text, args);
}

另一个有用的扩展方法是字符串与枚举类型之间的转化，扩展方法定义如下

/// <summary>
/// Parses a string into an Enum
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">The type of the Enum</typeparam>
/// <param name="value">String value to parse</param>
/// <returns>The Enum corresponding to the stringExtensions</returns>
public static T ToEnum<T>(this string value)
{
            return ToEnum<T>(value, false);
 }

参考下面的例子，使用这个实用的扩展方法

enum ProductVersion
{
    Standard,
    Enteprise,
    Ultimate
} 

[TestMethod]
public void StringToEnumTest()
{
      Assert.AreEqual(ProductVersion.Standard, "Standard".ToEnum<ProductVersion>());
}

 

4  数字类型上的扩展方法

我这里有一个明显的例子是显示容量的扩展方法，请看下面的方法组：

/// <summary> 
/// Kilobytes 
/// </summary> 
/// <param name="value"></param> 
/// <returns></returns> 
public static int KB(this int value)
        {
            return value * 1024;
        }

/// <summary> 
/// Megabytes 
/// </summary> 
/// <param name="value"></param> 
/// <returns></returns> 
public static int MB(this int value)
        {
            return value.KB() * 1024;
        }

/// <summary> 
/// Gigabytes 
/// </summary> 
/// <param name="value"></param> 
/// <returns></returns> 
public static int GB(this int value)
        {
            return value.MB() * 1024;
        }

/// <summary> 
/// Terabytes 
/// </summary> 
/// <param name="value"></param> 
/// <returns></returns> 
public static long TB(this int value)
        {
            return (long)value.GB() * (long)1024;
        }

用起来就很轻松了，简单的一行代码，获取容量的数字值

var kb = 1.KB();
var mb = 1.MB();
var gb = 1.GB();
var tb = 1.TB();

最后一组扩展方法在计算百分比中经常遇到，比如统计计算，任务完成百分比计算：

 #region PercentageOf calculations

        /// <summary>
        /// The numbers percentage
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="number">The number.</param>
        /// <param name="percent">The percent.</param>
        /// <returns>The result</returns>
        public static decimal PercentageOf(this int number, int percent)
        {
            return (decimal)(number * percent / 100);
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Percentage of the number.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="percent">The percent</param>
        /// <param name="number">The Number</param>
        /// <returns>The result</returns>
        public static decimal PercentOf(this int position, int total)
        {
            decimal result = 0;
            if (position > 0 && total > 0)
                result = (decimal)position / (decimal)total * 100;
            return result;
        }
        public static decimal PercentOf(this int? position, int total)
        {
            if (position == null) return 0;
            
            decimal result = 0;
            if (position > 0 && total > 0)
                result = (decimal)((decimal)position / (decimal)total * 100);
            return result;
        }

        /// <summary>

        public static decimal PercentageOf(this int number, float percent)
        {

        }

        {
            decimal result = 0;
            if (position > 0 && total > 0)
                result = (decimal)((decimal)position / (decimal)total * 100);
            return result;
        }

来看几个测试用例，增强对它的直观感受，因为涉及到的数值类型多一些，所以扩展方法的数量也多。
