Extension.Methods is a C# library built on top of .Net Standard 2.0. This library contains most of the extension methods that you would use in everyday life. We are committed to adding new methods.

The reason why we started this project is very simple. Mostly to automate a redundant process. Each time we used to start a new project, we had to copy and paste these lines of codes to our project. Though most of the extension methods are available in the internet, they are not present under a single library. So we added everything to one place and created a package out of it. Adding this package to your existing/new project is as easy as adding any other NuGet package.

Installation

The library is hosted on NuGet. You can install the same to your project using both Package Manager and .Net CLI.

Installing Extension.Methods using NuGet Package Manager Console

PM>Install-Package Extension.Methods

Installing Extension.Methods using .Net CLI

>dotnet add package Extension.Methods

This will install the packages and its dependencies to your project and you can start using the methods just by importing the Extension.Methods namespace.

Example

    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using Extension.Methods; // This is important
    
    namespace YourProject.TestApp
    {
        class Program
        {
            static void Main(string[] args)
            {
                var l = new List<int>() { 1, 2, 4, 8, 5, 3 };
                l.Sort();
                l.InsertSorted(0); // You can use all the available extension methods like this.
                Console.ReadKey();
            }
        }
    }
