I would like to get something like this to work...
Type t = FindMyType(); // might be int, float, double, etc
string s = "1233";
object v = t.Parse(s);
This doesn't work of couse, Parse is not a member of Type.
I have to think that this is possible. Is it?
Regards,

Hmm, only way I could think of would be something like this:
Type t = FindMyType(); // might be int, float, double, etc
object v = null;
if (t == typeof(double))
v = double.Parse(s) ;
else if (t == typeof(int))
v = int.Parse(s);
.... etc
Maybe someone else knows a better way?

Yes,
That is what I am doing now....not very elegant.

The only other way I could think of to do it (if you want to get rid of the if's) would be to use reflection to get the Parse
method.
Code modified from: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Code/20...Reflection.asp
Check MSDN for the MethodInfo and BindingFlags, I think you'll need another using statement (or fully specify it here in the code
itself).
MethodInfo mi;
object result = null;
object[] args = new object[] {"ABC123"};
Type t = FindMyType(); // might be int, float, double, etc
mi = t.GetMethod("Pa rse");
if (mi != null)
{
result = t.InvokeMember ("Parse", BindingFlags.Pu blic | BindingFlags.In vokeMethod | BindingFlags.St atic, null, null, args);
}
Not sure if that would be considered any "cleaner" though.

Hi,
I need to read a big CSV file, where different fields should be converted to
different types,
such as int, double, datetime, SqlMoney, etc.
I have an array, which describes the fields and their types. I would like
to somehow store a reference to parsing operations in this array
(such as Int32.Parse, Double.Parse, SqlMoney.Parse, etc),
so I can invoke the appropriate one without writing a long switch.

I'm wondering if there's an approach to writing consistent code to read/write
XML data in arbitrary order that I'm simply missing.
It seems to be easy getting stuff -out- of a DOM via XPath, but it's much
tougher building a DOM document in arbitrary order. Yes - I can get the
parent context element first, using XPath, but then I build custom wrappers
and helpers to simplify the building and adding fragments in the correct

I want to convert a string to an integer, I tried the following 2 methods
and they both worked. But I dont understand in method 1: int.Parse(...),
"int" should be the primitive type, but it can operate a method Parse?
int t1 = int.Parse(TextBox2.Text); //method 1
int t2 = System.Int32.Parse(TextBox2.Text); //method 2
Another question is which approach is correct? When to use which?
Please help! Thanks!

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
