Title
Body
I would like to implement a general purpose runtime type conversion function that makes use .Net TypeConverters to do the conversion. Does anyone know how to how to look up and invoke a TypeConverter for a particular type? Consider this C# example: // // Convert obj to the type specified by 'toType'. // object ConvertTo(object obj, Type toType) { if (TypeIsEqualOrDerivesFrom(obj.GetType(), toType)) <-- I know how to implement this. { // The type of obj is the same as the type specified by 'toType' or // the type of obj derives from the type specified by 'toType'. return obj; } if (TypeConverterExists(obj.GetType(), toType) <-- How do I implement this? { // There exists a type convertor that is capable of converting from // the type of obj to the type specified by 'toType'. return InvokeTypeConverter(obj, toType); <-- How do I implement this? } throw new TypeConversionFailedException(); }
