    I can´t imagine using it for Console.WriteLine or something, but I think importing extension methods from a class instead of a namespace makes much more sense. Like: using static System.Linq.Enumerable;

    I see what you mean, so for example if we have one large Extensions namespace with this we could clarify or emphasise exactly which extensions we are using. Well that could be helpful. Thanks for the reply.

          That's why I separate each of my Extension Methods (with overloads) into its own namespace -- I really can't stand having a whole load of crap brought in when I want only one small piece of crap. But then I also don't like the implementation of Extension Methods requiring the using directive, and the C# implementation not directly using the Attribute (unlike VB.net). X|

            Only as far as the developer allows.

              I also keep them in separate namespaces, it's much cleaner. But nevertheless I do recall seeing some huge extension containers and I presume this could arrange a bit those big piles of mess...

                    Telerik[^]:

                    With the final version of C# 6 having been released, we can seen that a lot of syntax changes have occurred since its inception. Because of this, I’ve noticed that most of the blog posts currently on the internet don’t work anymore or are too vague about how they implemented a feature. I thought it would be useful to make a list of the most essential C# 6 features with simple code examples that would make it both easy to understand and simple to copy/paste a sample into a new console app to try it. Let’s jump in.

                    Don't you feel smarter now?

                    I used several of this. Then was told my applet had to run on .NET 4.5.1 and had to take them out.

                      Most of them are compiler features. So long as you're compiling in VS2015, they should still work even if you're targeting an earlier version of the framework.

                        Should and do are two different things.
