cast as T

[Dan Holmes]

I need to cast a value at runtime to T from object.
public class GreaterThanFilter<T> where T : IComparable
{
private T _value;
private void SetValue()
{
//DataGrid.GetValue(0, 0) returns object
_value = DataGrid.GetValue(0, 0)
// i have tried
_value = (T)DataGrid.GetValue(0, 0)
// and
_value = (T)DataGrid.GetValue(0, 0) as T
}
}

how do i get the data returned from DataGrid.GetValue into _value as T?

Use Convert.ChangeType(object, typeof(T));

never mind. i changed something and it started working.

public class GreaterThanFilter<T> where T : IComparable
{
private T _value;
private void SetValue()
{
//DataGrid.GetValue(0, 0) returns object
_value = DataGrid.GetValue(0, 0)
// i have tried
_value = (T)DataGrid.GetValue(0, 0) This is the one i ended up with. // and
_value = (T)DataGrid.GetValue(0, 0) as T
}
}

how do i get the data returned from DataGrid.GetValue into _value as T?
