C# Extending generic method

Question

Good day,

Is there a way to extend generic method? for example

i have such method:

public T DoSomethingAboutIt<T>()
{
//do magic
}

what i want to is to have extended method such as:

private static T Extended<T, L>(this T o, Func<T, L> func)
{
    return default(T);
}

Is this extension is possible?

edit: i would like to call it like this something DoSomethingAboutIt().Extended...

It's possible but you still have to follow the rules of Extension Methods (MSDN).

This code compiles just fine...

internal class Program
{
    private static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        int y = 1;
        int z = y.Extended(n => "hi!");
    }
}

public static class X
{
    public static T Extended<T, L>(this T o, Func<T, L> func)
    {
        return default(T);
    }
}
