FromObject<TResult>(Object)

Attempts to convert the specified value to a given type. If the conversion is not possible the result is set to default(TResult).

Declaration

public static TResult FromObject<TResult>(object value)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Object	value	The object to convert the underlying type.

Returns

Type	Description
TResult	The `value` converted to the specified `TResult`.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
TResult	The type of the result.

Remarks

This method first checks if value is compatible with TResult; if not compatible the method continues with ChangeType(Object, Type, IFormatProvider) for the operation.
