IntegerConverter

The IntegerConverter class allows you to convert arbitrary values to integers using extended conversion rules.

Description

The IntegerConverter class allows you to convert arbitrary values to integers using the following extended conversion rules:

  • Strings are converted to floats, then to integers
  • DateTime: total number of milliseconds since unix epoch
  • Boolean: 1 for True and 0 for False

Static methods

ToInteger

Converts value into integer or returns 0 when the conversion is not possible.
See LongConverter.ToLong,
LongConverter.ToLongWithDefault

public static int ToInteger(object value)

  • value: object - value to convert.
  • returns: int - integer value or 0 when the conversion is not supported.

ToIntegerWithDefault

Converts value into integer or returns a given default value when the conversion is not possible. See LongConverter.ToLongWithDefault,
LongConverter.ToNullableLong

public static int ToIntegerWithDefault(object value, int defaultValue)

  • value: object - value to convert.
  • defaultValue: int - default value.
  • returns: int - integer value or default when the conversion is not supported.

ToNullableInteger

Converts value into integer or returns null when conversion is not possible. See LongConverter.ToNullableLong

public static int ToNullableInteger(object value)

  • value: object - value to convert.
  • returns: int - integer value or null when the conversion is not supported.

Examples

var value1 = IntegerConverter.ToNullableInteger("ABC"); // Result: null
var value2 = IntegerConverter.ToNullableInteger("123.456"); // Result: 123.456
var value3 = IntegerConverter.ToNullableInteger(true); // Result: 1
var value4 = IntegerConverter.ToNullableInteger(new Date()); // Result: current milliseconds
