The tags say .NET 2.0; If you are using C# 3.0 (i.e. VS 2008) and targetting .NET 2.0 you can do this by declaring the ExtensionAttribute - or (easier) just reference LINQBridge. namespace System.Runtime.CompilerServices { [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Assembly | AttributeTargets.Class | AttributeTargets.Method)] public sealed class ExtensionAttribute : Attribute { } } With this in place extension methods will work in .NET 2.0 with C# 3.0.

Hi You can't. C# 2.0 doesn't have extension methods at all. The tags say .NET 2.0; If you are using C# 3.0 (i.e. VS 2008) and targetting .NET 2.0 you can do this by declaring the ExtensionAttribute. You are using Visual Studio 2013 so Yes you can use .
