Hi there
I want to convert a string to a generic type
I have this:
string inputValue = myTxtBox.Text;
PropertyInfo propInfo = typeof(MyClass).GetProperty(myPropertyName);
Type propType = propInfo.PropertyType;
object propValue = ?????
I want to convert 'inputString' to the type of that property, to check if it's compatible how can I do that?
tks
