CultureAwareDynamicObject..::..TryConvert Method

Provides implementation for type conversion operations. Classes derived from the DynamicObject class can override this method to specify dynamic behavior for operations that convert an object from one type to another.

Namespace:  Tortuga.Anchor.Dynamic
Assembly:  Tortuga.Anchor (in Tortuga.Anchor.dll)

Syntax


public bool TryConvert(
	ConvertBinder binder,
	out Nullable<Object> result
)
Public Function TryConvert ( _
	binder As ConvertBinder, _
	<OutAttribute> ByRef result As Nullable(Of Object) _
) As Boolean

Parameters

binder
Type: ConvertBinder
Provides information about the conversion operation. The binder.Type property provides the type to which the object must be converted. For example, for the statement (String)sampleObject in C# (CType(sampleObject, Type) in Visual Basic), where sampleObject is an instance of the class derived from the DynamicObject class, binder.Type returns the [String] type. The binder.Explicit property provides information about the kind of conversion that occurs. It returns true for explicit conversion and false for implicit conversion.
result
Type: Nullable<(Of <(<'Object>)>)>%
The result of the type conversion operation.

Return Value

true if the operation is successful; otherwise, false. If this method returns false, the run-time binder of the language determines the behavior. (In most cases, a language-specific run-time exception is thrown.)
