Int32Converter Class

Definition

Provides a type converter to convert 32-bit signed integer objects to and from other representations.

Examples

The following code example converts a variable of type Int32 to a string and vice versa.

int myInt32( -967299);
String^ myInt32String = "+1345556";
Console::WriteLine( TypeDescriptor::GetConverter( myInt32 )->ConvertTo( myInt32, String::typeid ) );
Console::WriteLine( TypeDescriptor::GetConverter( myInt32 )->ConvertFrom( myInt32String ) );
int myInt32 = -967299;
string myInt32String = "+1345556";
Console.WriteLine(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(myInt32).ConvertTo(myInt32, typeof(string))); 
Console.WriteLine(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(myInt32).ConvertFrom(myInt32String));    
Dim myInt32 As Integer = -967299
Dim myInt32String As String = "+1345556"
Console.WriteLine(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(myInt32).ConvertTo(myInt32, GetType(String)))
Console.WriteLine(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(myInt32).ConvertFrom(myInt32String))

Remarks

This converter can only convert a 32-bit signed integer object to and from a string. The Int32 value type represents signed integers with values ranging from negative 2,147,483,648 through positive 2,147,483,647.

The ConvertFrom method uses the Parse method of Int32 with the integer value of NumberStyles.

The ConvertTo method uses the general ("G") format for the string returned.

For more information about type converters, see the TypeConverter base class and How to: Implement a Type Converter.

Note

You should never create an instance of an Int32Converter. Instead, call the GetConverter method of TypeDescriptor. For more information, see the examples in the TypeConverter base class.
