With Extension methods you are able to add new methods to predefined types and objects without recompiling the base type or type.
As an example, I will extend the DateTime object and add two more methods to it:GetFirstOfMonth, and GetEndOfMonth.
The snippet below is a static class which extends two more methods of the DateTime class namespace ExtensionExample
{ public static class DateTimeExtensions
{
public static DateTime GetFirstOfMonth(this DateTime Value)
{
return new DateTime(Value.Year,Value.Month,1);
} public static DateTime GetEndOfMonth(this DateTime Value)
{
return new DateTime(Value.Year, Value.Month, DateTime.DaysInMonth(Value.Year, Value.Month));
}
}
}
to use this extension, all i have to do is include the namespace ExtensionExample.
then when a DateTime variable is declared, it will have the two methods i just extended DateTime t = DateTime.Today;
Consolole.WriteLine(t.GetFirstOfMonth().ToString);
Consolole.WriteLine(t.GetEndOfMonth().ToString);

If you're still using Paradox for any of your business database applications, you need to put a plan together now for converting to another development tool or at least understand what the future is likely to hold. If you're a power-user or researcher working with data, stick with Paradox at least for now.

Microsoft plans to discontinue sales of Windows XP on June 30, 2008. Because XP is a tried and true OS, and because of numerous problems with Vista, many users and IT departments would prefer to stick with XP.
InfoWorld has an initiative to keep XP alive indefinitely.
You can help.

If you've used computers for more than a few years, you know that you don't wonder IF a hard drive will fail - you wonder WHEN.
It just happened to me - again. But this time it looks like the results will be pretty painless. The reasons?
* RAID Level 1
* Superb Hard Drive manufacturer warranty support

Here's a great marketing idea, cooked up, no doubt, by some MBA: Punish your customers for being your customers.
Sound crazy? Several well-known software and service vendors don't seem to think so.
