StringExtensionsParse(String, Type, CultureInfo) Method

Parses an object from a string value. Firstly, it tries to parse the type natively. If type cannot be parsed natively but the type has a TypeConverter or a registered conversion that can convert from string, then the type converter or conversion will be used.
See the Remarks section of the ParseT(String, CultureInfo) overload for details.
