PozitronDev Convert

Extensions to System.Object for inline conversion to various value types. Useful library for simplifying conversion tasks, considering all possible scenarios.

Usage

The real benefit becomes obvious in desktop applications development, where controls might return object values. By using these extensions we can get some clean inline assignments.

    public void SetMinimumQuantity(object controlValue)
    {
    	var minQuantity = controlValue.To<double?>() ?? 1;

        // process some logic here
    }

    public void ReadUserInputs()
    {
    	FirstName = FirstNameText.EditValue.To().StringOrEmpty;
        Quantity = QuantityText.EditValue.To().IntOrDefault;
        Price = PriceText.EditValue.To().Decimal;
        SortNo = SortNoText.EditValue.To<int>();
    }
