<script type="text/javascript">

        //if (e.keyCode == 32) return 109;
        alert(e.keyCode);
    });
</script>

C# Extension Methods Example

In this article i am going to explain about Extension Methods  with example. Extension methods enable you to "add" methods to existing types without creating a new derived type, recompiling, or otherwise modifying the original type. Extension methods are a special kind of static method, but they are called as if they were instance methods on the extended type. For client code written in C# and Visual Basic, there is no apparent difference between calling an extension method and the methods that are actually defined in a type. If you do implement extension methods for a given type, remember the following points: An extension method will never be called if it has the same signature as a method defined in the type. Extension methods are brought into scope at the namespace level. For example, if you have multiple static classes that contain extension methods in a single namespace named Extensions, they will all be brought into scope by the using Extensions; directive. ...
