Some simple yes/no questions. I tried googling first and couldn't find
specific answers.
These are related to .Net 3.5 extension methods
1) I found that I would like to add properties as well as methods. Is
there such a thing as Extension Properties?
2) Can you add static extension methods to classes? The 'this' part
implies an instance.
For example, I'd like to be able to go: System.IO.File. MyCrazyMethod()

Not yet. And yes, it's a pain, especially if you're trying to write a
fluent interface.

Not as far as I'm aware.

I do not think so, No idea why though.
Basically extension methods were a needed addition for Linq, I do not think
that for Linq you require extension Properties.
Thanks Jon and Ignacio.
Are you guys doing a lot of projects with 3.5 or even LINQ for that
matter?
(Production apps I mean, not play stuff)

Nop, in my company we do everything in 2.0 , all the new stuff I mean, we
are still supporting and developing 1.1 apps.

Well, I'm doing writing using VS2008 beta 2, but not a production
application.
I doubt that I'll be using .NET 3.5 in production for a while - but I
hope to start using C# 3 targeting .NET 2.0 shortly after VS2008 is
released, if it's stable enough.
Almost all the new features of C# 3 can be used with .NET 2.0 - just
not LINQ itself.

Hey I hadn't thought of that.
So I could use Extension methods, for example, but compile to a 2.0
app.

I think it's fantastic, but I have a few questions about extension
methods:
Question 1: Syntax

Why is the syntax for an extension method like this:

I recently got into somewhat of a debate with a fellow co-worker.
First I asked him if he new of a way to add a method to an existing
class like enhancing a class but without using Inheritance. He asked,
"Why on earth would you want to do this? Just inherit." I told him
other dynamic languages can do this such as JavaScript where you can
just add method to say the Array classes prototype chain. I told him I
found this technique often...

I am currently working on converting an old .Net 1.1-application to .Net
3.5. Due to the lack of nullable datatypes in those days, a "decimal
wrapper" was created that had various methods to parse objects (of
varying types) as well as methods to determine if the parsed decimal was
"valid", i.e. not null.
With nullable types we have some of it covered when creating the
functionality in .Net 3.5, but I am unsure how to create the...

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could tell me why extension methods must be
declared on static classes. I mean, why not allowing them to be declared as
static methods in regular instance classes?
In case you are wondering, I am only curious to find out the reason for this
limitation. I don't really have a need to declare extension method on non
static classes. I am just curious.

When I first heard about these new features, I was very excited as it
would have (if implemented as I had expected) rendered mimicking
multiple inheritance almost painless in C#. Unfortunately, due to a
couple limitations of the language, MI is still not attainable (at
least not succinctly).
1 - Interfaces cannot define data (only properties)
2 - Extension methods cannot be used to mix in property definitions
(or implement interface...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
