Type conversion

As

Generic conversion from one type to another.

T Energy.Base.Cast.As<T>(object value)

object Energy.Base.Cast.As(System.Type type, object value)

ObjectToDouble

Convert object to double value without exception. Treat comma “,” the same as dot “.” as decimal point when converting from string.

double Energy.Base.Cast.ObjectToDouble(object value)

ObjectToDecimal

Convert object to decimal number. Treat comma “,” the same as dot “.” as decimal point when converting from string.

double Energy.Base.Cast.ObjectToDouble(object value)

ObjectToLong

Convert object to long integer number.

long Energy.Base.Cast.ObjectToLong(object value)

ObjectToUnsignedLong

Convert object to long integer number.

ulong Energy.Base.Cast.ObjectToUnsignedLong(object value)

ObjectToBool

Convert object to boolean value.

bool Energy.Base.Cast.ObjectToBool(object value)

ObjectToJsonValue

Convert object to formal JSON value string.

string Energy.Base.Cast.ObjectToJsonValue(object value)

JsonValueToObject

Convert JSON value string to an object.

object Energy.Base.Cast.JsonValueToObject(string text)

StringToDecimal

Convert string to decimal value without exception. Treat comma “,” the same as dot “.” as decimal point.

decimal Energy.Base.Cast.StringToDecimal(string value, NumberStyles numberStyles)

decimal Energy.Base.Cast.StringToDecimal(string value)

StringToLongSmart

Convert string to long integer value without exception removing numerical differences.

long Energy.Base.Cast.StringToLongSmart(string value)

StringToUnsignedLongSmart

Convert string to unsigned long integer value without exception removing numerical differences.

long Energy.Base.Cast.StringToUnsignedLongSmart(string value)

BoolToString

Convert boolean value to its string representation.

string Energy.Base.Cast.BoolToString(bool value, Energy.Enumeration.BooleanStyle style)

Enum

Convert string to enumeration value.

object Energy.Base.Cast.StringToEnum(string value, Type type)

RemoveNumericalDifferences

Remove numerical differences from text representation of number.

Treat comma “,” the same as dot “.” as decimal point.

Ignore space, underscore and apostrophes between digits.

string Energy.Base.Cast.RemoveNumericalDifferences(string value)

MemorySizeToString

Represents memory size as a string containing a numeric value with an attached size unit.

Units used are: “B”, “KB”, “MB”, “GB”, “TB”, “PB”, “EB”.

string Energy.Base.Cast.MemorySizeToString(long sizeInBytes, int decimalPlaces, bool numberCeiling)

IntegerToHex

Convert integer to hexadecimal value.

Resulting string will have count specified by size of digits or letters (A-F).

For int which is the synonym of System.Int32 resulting string will be 8 characters long.

If number representation will be larger than size, it will be truncated to the last characters.

Example: IntegerToHex(100000, 4) will result with “86a0” instead of “186a0” or “186a”.

string Energy.Base.Cast.IntegerToHex(int value)

HexToInteger

Convert hexadecimal string to integer value (System.Int32).

int Energy.Base.Cast.HexToInteger(string hex)

OctToInteger

Convert octal string to integer value (System.Int32).

int Energy.Base.Cast.OctToInteger(string oct)

StringToStream

Convert string to a stream using specified encoding.

Stream Energy.Base.Cast.StringToStream(string value, Encoding encoding)

If encoding is not specified, UTF-8 will be used.

Stream Energy.Base.Cast.StringToStream(string value)

Always try to use streams in using section to properly free allocated objects like in the following example of unit test using this function.

string needle = "€";
byte[] buffer;

using (Stream stream = Energy.Base.Cast.StringToStream(needle))
{
    int length = (int)stream.Length;
    buffer = new byte[length];
    stream.Read(buffer, 0, length);
}
Assert.AreEqual(0, Energy.Base.Bit.Compare(new byte[] { 226, 130, 172 }, buffer));

using (Stream stream = Energy.Base.Cast.StringToStream(needle, encoding: Encoding.Unicode))
{
    int length = (int)stream.Length;
    buffer = new byte[length];
    stream.Read(buffer, 0, length);
}
Assert.AreEqual(0, Energy.Base.Bit.Compare(new byte[] { 172, 32 }, buffer));

StringToShort

Convert string to short integer value without exception.

ushort Energy.Base.Cast.StringToShort(string value)

You may want to set additional options like allow decimal point in numbers or exceeding value. When value exceeds maximum, reminder will be returned.

ushort Energy.Base.Cast.StringToShort(string value, bool point, bool exceed)

StringToUnsignedShort

Convert string to short integer value without exception.

ushort Energy.Base.Cast.StringToUnsignedShort(string value)

You may want to set additional options like allow decimal point in numbers or exceeding value. When value exceeds maximum, reminder will be returned. In addition when exceed parameter is true, negative values will be returned as positive.

ushort Energy.Base.Cast.StringToUnsignedShort(string value, bool point, bool exceed)
