Hi Paul,
System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter and TypeDescriptor types could help
you convert a string to a given type. Here's a possible - not optimized
- replacement of the code you have posted:
string key = part.Split('=')[0];
PropertyInfo property = result.GetType().GetProperty(key);
property.SetValue(result,
TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(property.PropertyType).ConvertFromString(value),
null);
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I have the following piece of code:
string key = part.Split('=')[0];
PropertyInfo property = result.GetType().GetProperty(key);
if (property.PropertyType == typeof(string))
property.SetValue(result, value, null);
else if (property.PropertyType == typeof(Int32))
property.SetValue(result, Int32.Parse(value), null);
else if (property.PropertyType == typeof(bool))
property.SetValue(result, bool.Parse(value), null);
My question is this:
Is there a way of generically typecasting the property value and not having to
add an extra else if for each different type that the value might be.
Thanks
Paul
