All C# Extension Methods
-
WhereIf
When building a LINQ query, you may need to involve optional filtering criteria. Avoids if statements when building predicates & lambdas for a query. Useful when you don't know at compile time whether a filter should apply. Borrowed from Andrew Robinson. http://bit.ly/1V36G9

ToDictionary() - for enumerations of groupings
Converts an IEnumerable<IGrouping<TKey,TValue>> to a Dictionary<TKey,List<TValue>> so that you can easily convert the results of a GroupBy clause to a Dictionary of Groupings. The out-of-the-box ToDictionary() LINQ extension methods require a key and element extractor which are largely redundant when being applied to an enumeration of groupings, so this is a short-cut.
-
