FloatConverter

Description

The FloatConverter class allows you to convert arbitrary values into float using the following extended conversion rules:

• Strings are converted to float values
• DateTime: total number of milliseconds since unix epoch
• Boolean: 1 for true and 0 for false

Static methods

ToFloat

Converts value into float or returns 0 when the conversion is not possible.
See DoubleConverter.toDouble

public static float ToFloat(object value)

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

ToFloatWithDefault

Converts value into float or returns a given default value when the conversion is not possible.
See DoubleConverter.ToDoubleWithDefault,
DoubleConverter.ToNullableDouble

public static float ToFloatWithDefault(object value, float defaultValue)

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

ToNullableFloat

Converts value into float or returns null when the conversion is not possible.
See DoubleConverter.ToNullableDouble

public static float toNullableFloat(object value)

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

Examples

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