Method TryConvert

Namespace

MonoMod.Utils

Assembly

MonoMod.Utils.dll

TryConvert(ConvertBinder, out object?)

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.

public override bool TryConvert(ConvertBinder binder, out object? result)

Parameters

binder 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 object

The result of the type conversion operation.

Returns

bool

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.)
