A co-worker of mine came up with this and I wonder what others think? Personally, I find it interesting but wonder if it is too big a departure? Code examples below. Extensi

One more vote for "not useful". The With extension method doesn't do anything except wrap up sequenced statements with a method. C# already already has a built-in function for sequencing statements, its called ;.

Similarly, the WithIf wraps an if-statement without any modification to the control flow. From my point of view, you're only inviting yourself to methods like:

public static T For(
    this T t, int start, Func cond, Action f)
{
    for(int i = start; cond(i); i++)
    {
        f(t, i);
    }
    return t;
}
