That one returned a string and it is more useful for my applications to have a TimeSpan reference instead. That is what I did with this extension method. 6e1f1665-be4d-4a81-a0b9-81eb1f886714 Sanction10 http://www.extensionmethod.net/Details.aspx?ID=326 Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:09:44 +0200 System.DateTime return the length of time between the start and current date e85e78d3-6933-44ea-a1d8-3d58d51c1627 Sanction10 http://www.extensionmethod.net/Details.aspx?ID=325 Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:00:10 +0200 System.Type Gets the value of a property in a object through relection 8908d3a5-7c53-4c61-b34a-d6b6ed9852f8 jdoe http://www.extensionmethod.net/Details.aspx?ID=324 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 22:26:34 +0200 System.Object Matches yourFace to myButt 3426a60a-f87c-4b76-bcae-a972df52d352 Charles Cherry http://www.extensionmethod.net/Details.aspx?ID=323 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 22:21:36 +0200 System.DateTime Returns a DateTime representing the Friday of the current week.

This is especially useful for validating user input. For any comparable, it simply returns the value, truncated by a minimum or maximum 1c875fbb-c052-4559-9f76-f10f457c8826 David Harris http://www.extensionmethod.net/Details.aspx?ID=318 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 01:02:41 +0200 System.Collections.Generic.Queue<T> Sometimes you may need a Queue<T> that, once it hits a capacity, dequeues items automatically to maintain a certain maximum. While it may be best to derive a new type from Queue<T>, this will get it done much more quickly. This is very useful for maintaining a rolling average or a "history" feature. 469d8244-1ab7-47f5-9dca-a2fd5984ee39 David Harris http://www.extensionmethod.net/Details.aspx?ID=317 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 00:53:12 +0200 System.Control Properly invokes an action if it is required.

Let's say you have a webcontrol (a label for example) with more than one css class: "defaultClass loggedIn". With the RemoveCssClass extension method, you can easily remove one of them. 46bd56f1-6edb-4284-9dfb-a03597f48c34 Kristof Claes http://www.extensionmethod.net/Details.aspx?ID=315 Wed, 11 Aug 2010 07:52:27 +0200 System.Web.UI.WebControls Adds a css class to the webcontrol. Instead of having to pass one string to the CssClass property, you can add them one by one with the AddCssClass extension method. This can come in handy when a webcontrol has a default class (from the ASP.NET markup) and then needs additional classes based on a condition (like whether or not a user is logged in). 74df391f-7c32-468d-aeb5-722cc3f239d5 Massimo Bonanni http://www.extensionmethod.net/Details.aspx?ID=314 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 14:43:20 +0200 System.Diagnostic.Process The method extends the Process class to retrieve (if possible) the id of the parent process.

E.g. if the interval is 100 and the integer is 400, it would return true. 127 would return false. This function uses the Mod operator, for the above example: (300 Mod 100 = 0) 5d2d9f64-a9aa-4518-97d4-23119c6cf961 Joe http://www.extensionmethod.net/Details.aspx?ID=303 Sat, 03 Jul 2010 04:02:45 +0200 System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<T> Randomizes am IEnumerable<T> ebe15ec0-8e5e-43b5-968f-243830423a47
