interface

The IConvertible interface allows conversion of an object to basic data types and allows the conversion methods in the Convert class to use that object. When implementing the IConvertible interface, create your own type-specific methods for each of the supplied conversion methods.

Note that IConvertible allows one-way conversion from a custom type to other data types, but does not allow a conversion from a basic data type to a custom type.

 public interface  IConvertible  {  // Public Instance Methods  public TypeCode  GetTypeCode  ( );    public bool  ToBoolean  (IFormatProvider   provider   );    public byte  ToByte  (IFormatProvider   provider   );    public char  ToChar  (IFormatProvider   provider   );    public DateTime  ToDateTime  (IFormatProvider   provider   );    public decimal  ToDecimal  (IFormatProvider   provider   );    public double  ToDouble  (IFormatProvider   provider   );    public short  ToInt16  (IFormatProvider   provider   );    public int  ToInt32  (IFormatProvider   provider   );    public long  ToInt64  (IFormatProvider   provider   );    public sbyte  ToSByte  (IFormatProvider   provider   );    public float  ToSingle  (IFormatProvider   provider   );    public string  ToString  (IFormatProvider   provider   );    public object  ToType  (Type   conversionType   ,  IFormatProvider   provider   );    public ushort  ToUInt16  (IFormatProvider   provider   );    public uint  ToUInt32  (IFormatProvider   provider   );    public ulong  ToUInt64  (IFormatProvider   provider   ); }
