C# 3.5 Conversion Extension Method Library 1.0

published 11 months, 10 days ago, submitted by jdee 11 months, 10 days ago

j-dee.com — This free downloadable library makes use of the new Extension Method language feature in C# 3.5 to add some cool conversion functions to the basic datatypes. So now, you can do more than just .ToString()...you can do .ToDecimal or .ToInt32 etc. etc. Also includes .Left() and .Right() string manipulations that VB has but C# doesn't !!!!

I've never understood why everyone thinks C# doesn't have Left and Right string manipulations. If you want them, just add the reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace/library. That namespace is part of the .NET framework (so its on everyone's computer that has the framework), just not automatically referenced like VB projects.

You mean C# 3.0, right? There is no C# 3.5.

I've seen a lot of people label the the next release of the C# language as 3.5.

For a while, (even myself) labeled the WCF, WPF, etc. as .NET 3.0 and 3.5 as the language updates. Since .NET 3.0 (WCF, WPF) is already here, 3.5 was going to be the language updates along with VS 2008.

I think .NET Framework v3.5 will have C# 3.0, because the .NET Framework v3.0 has C# 2.0 and WCF/WPF.

They made a mess of the versioning, that's clear..

Does anyone know definitively if it's 3.0 or 3.5 so I can update the article. I've seen WPF,WCF and WF labelled as 3.0, and Linq, lambda and Silverlight as 3.5!! Any advice appreciated! Thanks for the comments and Kicks too!

says "Unified C# 3.0 Specification Now Available"

I think the language is 3.0, but the Framework will be 3.5 that the language will be released in.

.NET 3.5 (aka Orcas, because VS releases coincide with Framework releases) Framework is C# 3.0 & VB.NET 9.0
