How can I convert TO a Nullable from a String using reflection? I have the following code to convert TO almost any value type given almost any value. There is quite a bit of code above this to use the IsAssignableFrom, etc. so this is the last resort. MethodInfo parse = t.GetMethod("Parse", new Type[] { typeof(string) }); if (parse ...
I am creating a type converter for use in a in-house library that should be able to convert from any type returned by a database (long, DBNull, bool, string, etc...) to any compatible type. This all works fin and dandy for items that can either be casted: try { return (T)value } catch(InvalidCaseException) { } Or can be parsed: see ...
Hi, I'm not very good with more advanced maths, so I have to ask this: If I have a camera which gives out 360 degree pan (x) and tilt (y) values, and I want to get the pan and tilt values of where I have my cursor in the camera's view, how would I convert that? More info: It's a Flash/AS3 project. The pan and tilt values are from the c...

I am refactoring some code that I did not write, and I found a line that looks like this (it is much longer, i used just a little bit for this example): system("rubyw -e \"require 'win32ole'; @autoit=WIN32OLE.new('AutoItX3.Control');") To increase readability, I refactored it to do_something = "rubyw -e \" require 'win32ole' ...
I need to programatically convert mp3's of any bitrate to a standard bitrate for streaming audio using c#. Currently a buffer is populated with mp3 data from disk and then send out to the "listeners" at what should be a constant speed (the broadcast), but the mp3's could be of any bitrate. This makes timing extremely difficult and should...

In Python, I'm constantly using the following sequence to get an integer value from a byte buffer (in python this is a str). I'm getting the buffer from the struct.unpack() routine. When I unpack a 'char' using byte_buffer, = struct.unpack('c', raw_buffer) int_value = int( byte_buffer.encode('hex'), 16 ) Is there a better way? ...

I get a warning in MSVC++ when I try to read an integer from a file and make a bool variable equal it. accessLV[i] = FileRead(file1, i + 1); (accessLV is an array of bools, FileRead is a function I made to decrease the syntax involved in reading from a file, i is because the statement is within a for loop) I've tried using a static_c...

I have an Employee model that has a SecurityClearanceLevel. When you make a new employee, you're asked to set a SecurityClearanceLevel by choosing from a <select> list. The problem is that when I save the object, it's a string, not a SecurityClearanceLevel, so the save fails. Where do I take care of this kind of back-and-forth conversio...

Group, I am sure this is user error somehow, but I am trying to CAST a column of numbers from a float to a varchar. It works great for anything under 7 digits, but if the number is 7 digits it turns it into scientific notation or what ever they call that. For example: 440000 displays 440000 1299125 displays 1.29913e+006 It looks like...
