SafeConvert

The SafeConvert is a .NET library used to convert data between data types safely.

Supports .NET 2.0 ( #define DISABLE_LINQ or use System.Core.dll ) and .NET 3.5+

It uses System.Convert to convert object, and uses TryParse to convert string.

And the api is just the same as System.Convert class.

NOTE

Convert from string "1" to bool will return true

var b = "1".ToBoolean(); // Print true

Samples

Convert from string "1" to byte

var b = "1".ToByte(); // Print 1

Convert from string "10" to short

var s = "10".ToInt16(); // Print 10

Convert from string "100" to int

var i = "100".ToInt32(); // Print 100

Convert from string "1000" to long

var l = "1000".ToInt64(); // Print 1000

Convert from string "6.5" to float

var f = "6.5".ToSingle(); // Print 6.5

Convert from string "6.5" to decimal

var d = "6.5".ToDecimal(); // Print 6.5

Convert from string "6.5" to double

var d = "6.5".ToDouble(); // Print 6.5

Convert from string "2014-12-02 11:00:00" to DateTime

var dateTime = "2014-12-02 11:00:00".ToDateTime();

Each extension methods has the default value in case of failing to parse

E.g: convert from string "abc" to int using default value

var n = "abc".ToInt(10); // Print default value 10 because of failing to parse
