The initial block stated: "Extension methods should be used only when the traditional techniques are not feasible, because extension methods introduce some performance overhead". I replaced it with: "Extension methods should be used only when the traditional techniques are not feasible. I would recommend the use of the inheritance technique where applicable due to a few reasons. One of them is the fact that extension methods are a bit less intuitive since the code is in a separate static class and not grouped with all the members of a given subclass". Once again thank you Jonathan for your observation. I’ve updated the post in order to remove my initial error, spotted by Jonathan.

Still, I would recommend the use of the inheritance technique where applicable due to a few reasons. One of them is the fact that extension methods are a bit less intuitive since the code that needs to be executed is in a separate static class and not grouped with all the members of a given class.

Uh, not really. An extension method, once compiled, is just another static method. And static methods, not having v-tables, are about as fast as you can get. If they are short they will probably even be inlined. > Extension methods should be used only when the traditional techniques are not feasible, because extension methods introduce some performance overhead.
