InfiniteIntConverter Class

Definition

Converts between a string and the standard infinite or integer value.

public ref class InfiniteIntConverter sealed : System::Configuration::ConfigurationConverterBase
public sealed class InfiniteIntConverter : System.Configuration.ConfigurationConverterBase
type InfiniteIntConverter = class
    inherit ConfigurationConverterBase
Public NotInheritable Class InfiniteIntConverter
Inherits ConfigurationConverterBase
Inheritance

Examples

The following code example shows how to use the InfiniteIntConverter when applied to a custom section property.


public enum Permissions
{
    FullControl         = 0,
    Modify              = 1,
    ReadExecute         = 2,
    Read                = 3,
    Write               = 4,
    SpecialPermissions  = 5
}

[ConfigurationProperty("permission", DefaultValue = Permissions.Read)]
public Permissions Permission
{
    get
    {
        return (Permissions)this["permission"];
    }

    set
    {
        this["permission"] = value;
    }
}

Public Enum Permissions
    FullControl = 0
    Modify = 1
    ReadExecute = 2
    Read = 3
    Write = 4
    SpecialPermissions = 5
End Enum 'Permissions


<ConfigurationProperty("permission", _
DefaultValue:=Permissions.Read)> _
Public Property Permission() As Permissions
    Get
        Return CType(Me("permission"), Permissions)
    End Get

    Set(ByVal value As Permissions)
        Me("permission") = Value
    End Set
End Property

Remarks

This type, like all the other configuration converter types, converts strings found in the configuration file to and from the related strongly typed properties.

In particular, the InfiniteIntConverter class converts string values, assigned to a configuration property, to integer values and vice versa. If the configuration property has a string value of "infinite", it converts this value to MaxValue and vice versa.

This converter is used with integer types. The infinite value is persisted as MaxValue.

Constructors

InfiniteIntConverter()

Initializes a new instance of the InfiniteIntConverter class.
