Limit<>
Limits a value to a maximum. For example this is usefull if you want to feed a progressBar with values from a source which eventually might exceed an expected maximum. This is a generic extension method with IComparable<T> constraint. So every type which implements the IComparable interface benefits from this extension.
Source
public static T Limit<T>(this T value, T maximum) where T : IComparable<T>
{
return value.CompareTo(maximum) < 1 ? value : maximum;
}
Example
int testValue = 150;
int limitedResult = testValue.Limit(100);
// limitedResult will be 100 because it's the given maximum.
