Last active December 17, 2015 11:19

Here's a static method design that allows method mocking/verification via Daniel Cazzulino here http://blogs.clariusconsulting.net/kzu/making-extension-methods-amenable-to-mocking/.

	public static class MessagingExtensions
	{
	public static IMessaging Messaging(this SomeType target)
	{
	return MessagingFactory(target);
	}

	static MessagingExtensions()
	{
	MessagingFactory = st => new Messaging(st);

gabrieljoelc / jsBaseMethodExample.js

Created May 21, 2013 17:40

Example of calling a "base" method in JavaScript using Backbone.js.

	Backbone.Collection.extend({
	add: function(models, options) {
	models.doSomethingSpecific();
	return Backbone.Collection.prototype.add.call(this, models, options);
	}
	})

gabrieljoelc / IsGenericTypeAssignableFromExtension.cs

Created June 4, 2013 13:50

superType#IsAssignableFrom(subType) won't return true when the type on the left side is a generic and the type parameter on the right is its subtype. This extension method does it. I ripped it off of this answer from SO: http://stackoverflow.com/a/1075059/34315.

	public static class TypeExtensions
	{
	public static bool IsGenericTypeAssignableFrom(this Type genericType, Type givenType)
	{
	var interfaceTypes = givenType.GetInterfaces();

	if (interfaceTypes.Any(it => it.IsGenericType && it.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == genericType))
	{
	return true;
	}

Generic retry utility ripped off from SO answer http://stackoverflow.com/a/1563234/34315.

	public static class RetryUtility
	{
	public static void RetryAction( Action action, int numRetries, int retryTimeout )
	{
	if( action == null )
	throw new ArgumentNullException("action"); // slightly safer...

	do
	{
	try { action(); return; }
