Nice, but why not make it generic?

public static T Constrain<T>(this T value, T min, T max) where T : IComparable<T>

{

if (value.CompareTo(min)<0)

return min;

else if (value.CompareTo(max)>0)

return max;

else

return value;

}

"It’s just a Floor combined with a Ceiling, but it reads nicely:"

Your code dosen't read like that, whythe ifs?

public static int Constraint(this int value, int min, int max)

{

return Math.Min(Math.Max(value,min), max);

}
