Disponible à partir de C# 3, elles permettent d'ajouter des méthodes à une classe ou à une structure sans en modifier son code.
 |
- Les méthodes doivent être déclarées dans une classe static.
- Les méthodes qui étendent une classe ou une structure ne peuvent accéder qu’aux membres publics.

// Déclaration de la méthode d'extension dans une classe static
public static class StringExtensions
{
/// <summary>
/// A Contains method with a comparison type.
/// </summary>
public static bool Contains(this string source, string value, StringComparison comparisonType)
{
return source.IndexOf(value, comparisonType) >= 0;
}
}
// Utilisation de la méthode d'extension : comparaison de string en ignorant la casse
var monString = "ASTRINGTOTEST";
monString.Contains("string", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
