static member RegisterConversion :
sourceType : Type *
targetType : Type *
conversion : ConversionAttempt -> unit Parameters
- sourceType Type
- The source Type for which the conversion can be called.
- targetType Type
- The result Type that conversion produces.
- conversion ConversionAttempt
- A ConversionAttempt delegate, which is able to perform the conversion.
Usage Note
In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type Type. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).Remarks
After calling this method the Convert/TryConvert Object extension methods and Parse/TryParse String extension methods will be able to use the registered conversion between sourceType and targetType.
Calling the RegisterConversion methods for the same source and target types multiple times will override the old registered conversion with the new one.
sourceType and targetType can be interface, abstract or even a generic type definition. Preregistered conversions:
- KeyValuePairTKey, TValue to another KeyValuePairTKey, TValue
- KeyValuePairTKey, TValue to DictionaryEntry
- DictionaryEntry to KeyValuePairTKey, TValue
- IEnumerableT of char to IEnumerableT of Rune (.NET Core 3.0 and above)
- IEnumerableT of Rune to IEnumerableT of char (.NET Core 3.0 and above)
