public class ExtendedTypeInfo

Constructors

ExtendedTypeInfo(Type)

Initializes a new instance of the ExtendedTypeInfo class.

Declaration

public ExtendedTypeInfo(Type t)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Type	t	The t.

Properties

CanParseNatively

Gets a value indicating whether the type contains a suitable TryParse method.

Declaration

public bool CanParseNatively { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true if this instance can parse natively; otherwise, false.

IsNullableValueType

Gets a value indicating whether the type is a nullable value type.

Declaration

public bool IsNullableValueType { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true if this instance is nullable value type; otherwise, false.

IsNumeric

Gets a value indicating whether the type or underlying type is numeric.

Declaration

public bool IsNumeric { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true if this instance is numeric; otherwise, false.

IsValueType

Gets a value indicating whether the type is value type. Nullable value types have this property set to False.

Declaration

public bool IsValueType { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean

ToStringMethodInfo

Gets the ToString method info It will prefer the overload containing the IFormatProvider argument.

Declaration

public MethodInfo ToStringMethodInfo { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
MethodInfo	To string method information.

TryParseMethodInfo

Gets the try parse method information. If the type does not contain a suitable TryParse static method, it will return null.

Declaration

public MethodInfo TryParseMethodInfo { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
MethodInfo	The try parse method information.

Type

Gets the type this extended info class provides for.

Declaration

public Type Type { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Type	The type.

UnderlyingType

When dealing with nullable value types, this property will return the underlying value type of the nullable, Otherwise it will return the same type as the Type property.

Declaration

public Type UnderlyingType { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Type	The type of the underlying.

Methods

ToStringInvariant(Object)

Converts this instance to its string representation, trying to use the CultureInfo.InvariantCulture IFormat provider if the overload is available.

Declaration

public string ToStringInvariant(object instance)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Object	instance	The instance.

Returns

Type	Description
String	A String that represents the current object.

TryParse(String, out Object)

Tries to parse the string into an object of the type this instance represents. Returns false when no suitable TryParse methods exists for the type or when parsing fails for any reason. When possible, this method uses CultureInfo.InvariantCulture and NumberStyles.Any.

Declaration

public bool TryParse(string s, out object result)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
String	s	The s.
Object	result	The result.
