Convert A String To Generic Type T When T Is A Valuetype?
May 1, 2012fast way in VB to go from a string to a generic type T constrained to a valuetype (Of T as Structure), when I know that T will always be some number type?This is too slow for my taste:
Return DirectCast(Convert.ChangeType(myStr, GetType(T)), T)
But it seems to be the only sane method of getting from a String --> T. I've tried using Reflector to see how Convert.ChangeType works, and while I can convert from the String to a given number type via a hacked-up version of that code, I have no idea how to jam that type back into T so it can be returned.
I'll add that part of the speed penalty I'm seeing (in a timing loop) is because the return value is getting assigned to a Nullable(Of T) value. If I strongly-type my class for a specific number type (i.e., UInt16), then I can vastly increase the performance, but then the class would need to be duplicated for each numeric type that I use.
It'd almost be nice if there was converter to/from T while working on it in a generic method/class. Maybe there is and I'm oblivious to its existence?
Conclusion:Testing the three provided implementations below and my original DirectCast/ChangeType form, @peenut's approach of using a prepared delegate to fetch the Parse method from a basic type works. No error checking is done, however, so implementors need to remember to only use this with valuetypes that have a Parse method available. Or extend the below to do error checking.
All runs were done on a 32bit system running Windows Server 2003 R2 with 4GB of RAM. Each "run" is 1,000,000 executions (ops) of the method to be tested, timed with StopWatch and reported back in milliseconds.
Original DirectCast(Convert.ChangeType(myStr, GetType(T)), T):
1000000 ops: 597ms
Average of 1000000 ops over 10 runs: 472ms
Average of 1000000 ops over 10 runs: 458ms
[code]....
Comparatively, peenut's approach is almost 200ms faster when executed 1,000,000 times in a tight loop, so his approach wins out.

Konrad's approach to generate IL code to access the Parse method and store the call into a delegate:
1000000 ops: 352ms
Average of 1000000 ops over 10 runs: 316ms
Average of 1000000 ops over 10 runs: 315ms

peenut's approach of using a delegate to access the Parse method directly:
1000000 ops: 272ms
Average of 1000000 ops over 10 runs: 272ms
Average of 1000000 ops over 10 runs: 275ms

Comparatively, peenut's approach is almost 200ms faster when executed 1,000,000 times in a tight loop, so his approach wins out. Although, Konrad's wasn't far behind and is itself a fascinating study of things like ILGenerator.
VS 2008 Convert Access Database Null Values To String Type?

Why i need the values in STRING means , In my code i using this Combobox as a filter in SQL Query.If i didn`t change the Null Value to STRING , The Combobox SelectedText or SelectedValue is Showing Nothing. So i am not able to get the Record.
Whn i write a Sql Query to Combobox and apply filter in WHERE statement like Combobox.Selectedtext or Combobox.SelectedValue In "Selected Change Committed Event" then i should get the record in the Output right but unfortunatly i am not getting the Record. The Record Count in DebugPrint showing 0.

Populate An Simple Integer Array With Variable Of The Same Type?
Aug 9, 2012I know vb.net does not include pointers like C language. but I am trying do populate an simple integer array with variable of the same type for example :

dim variable2 as integer = -1
dim intArray() as integer = {variable1,variable2}
[code]....
it is a very simplyfied verson of what I want to do.I want to change the value of ma variables with my array referencing them with an index as if my variables were pointers of integer in c++ for example so that normally after the example, both variable should hold the number 3 instead of the number -1?
VS 2008 Ridiculously Simple Double Data Type?
Aug 20, 2009Ok, I'm half convinced that this is such a simple question that no one has ever needed to ask it in the history of google.I have a double datatype, which contains a currency value. This is returned by an API, so I can't just change it to decimal.The variable gets populated with this: 5.37979542325911E-315, which I took to mean that the current balance was $5.3797. This is incorrect!
So my question to you guys is: How do I convert a double to a data type I can use for currency?
Note: Cdec() and other casting to decimals hasn't workd. It's set the decimal to 0D.
Conversion From Type 'String' To Type 'String' Is Not Valid
Dec 21, 2009I'm in the process of porting an old excel addin that was writen in VBA to VB .NET. The Excel addin interacts with a number of external com objects. The code sorta looks like this:[code...]
What I'm trying to do is read the string from the COM object and get it in durr for use later in my program.
That second line results in the exception posted above. If I try casting with CStr/CType I get the same exception.
The visual studio watch window reports the type of hurr.getString as a "System.__ComObject" whereas the VBA watch window reports the type as "Variant/Object/String".
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information.TypeName(hurr.getString) says the type is "String".

This all works well, except when it's trying to save a combobox to the datatable it appears with the error above.Majority of my comboboxes have datasources, and the valuemembers of these are the actual list items, not the ID's of the list items.I'm not sure why this error could be happening, I'm fairly sure I've connected everything to the binding source correctly; I've checked it a few times.Does anybody know what the cause of this could be? I've looked around a bit and I haven't found much

Error : Conversion From Type 'DataGridViewTextBoxCell' To Type 'String' Is Not Valid
May 2, 2010I am getting the error "Conversion from type 'DataGridViewTextBoxCell' to type 'String' is not valid." When trying to display a cell from DGV in a listbox.I have my variable for the cell reference as follows:
Dim a As Object
a = DataGridView1(4,1)
To insert it in the listbox as follows:
lstLetter.Items.Add(String.Format(a))
I tried:
lstLetter.Items.Add(a)
This will not actually display the entry inside the referenced cell, it shows this in my listbox instead:
DataGridView TextBoxCell { ColumnIndex=4, RowIndex=1 }
how I need to convert this to display.
