Playing With Extension Methods

Published in: C# 

In Ruby you can write 5.times { print "Hello World" } . With a simple extension method I was able to do something similar with C#.


Plain TextExpand 
  1. using System;
  2.  
  3. namespace ExtensionMethodTest
  4. {
  5. 	static class Program
  6. 	{
  7.  
  8. 		public delegate void MyDelegate();
  9.  
  10. 		static void Main(string[] args)
  11. 		{
  12.  
  13. 			5.Times(delegate()
  14. 			{
  15. 				Console.WriteLine("Hello World");
  16. 			});
  17.  
  18. 			Console.Read();
  19. 		}
  20.  
  21. 		public static void Times(this int count, MyDelegate del)
  22. 		{
  23. 			for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
  24. 			{
  25. 				del();
  26. 			}
  27. 		}
  28.  
  29. 	}
  30. }

You know in C# 3.0 you can use lambda expressions instead of delegates. The syntax is more terse and simpler.
