Re: Type convertsion from string

Have you tried Convert.ChangeType?

Jon,

thank you. I changed second line to

p.SetValue(entityTmp, Convert.ChangeType(e.Value, p.PropertyType), null);

and this works.

When user enters letters to numeric cell, this line causes Exception.
How to check that conversion can be performed ?
Should I use try catch to catch this exception or is it possible to
determine conversion error before raising exception ?

Andrus.
