public static IMessaging Messaging(this SomeType target)

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; }
