Can There Be Private Extension Methods?

Question

Let\'s say I have a need for a simple private helper method, and intuitively in the code it would make sense as an extension method. Is there any way to encapsulate that hel

Answer 1

This is taken from an example on microsoft msdn. Extesnion Methods must be defined in a static class. See how the Static class was defined in a different namespace and imported in. You can see example here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb311042(v=vs.90).aspx

namespace TestingEXtensions
{
    using CustomExtensions;
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var value = 0;
            Console.WriteLine(value.ToString()); //Test output
            value = value.GetNext(); 
            Console.WriteLine(value.ToString()); // see that it incremented
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

namespace CustomExtensions 
{
    public static class IntExtensions
    {
        public static int GetNext(this int i)
        {
            return i + 1;
        }
    }
}
