The TryToType method attempts to convert a string representation of a value to a specified type. It is a static method and part of the SandboxSystemExtensions class. This method is useful when you need to safely attempt a conversion without throwing exceptions if the conversion fails.
To use the TryToType method, provide the string to be converted, the target type, and an output parameter to store the converted value if successful. The method returns a boolean indicating whether the conversion was successful.
Parameters:
str (System.String): The string representation of the value to convert.t (System.Type): The type to which the value should be converted.Value (out System.Object): The output parameter that will hold the converted value if the conversion is successful.Returns:
System.Boolean: true if the conversion was successful; otherwise, false.// Example usage of TryToType
string input = "123";
Type targetType = typeof(int);
object result;
bool success = SandboxSystemExtensions.TryToType(input, targetType, out result);
if (success)
{
int convertedValue = (int)result;
// Use the converted value
}
else
{
// Handle the conversion failure
}
