BaseCompareValidator.CanConvert Method

Definition

Determines whether the specified string can be converted to the specified data type.

Overloads

CanConvert(String, ValidationDataType)

Determines whether the specified string can be converted to the specified data type. This version of the overloaded method tests currency, double, and date values using the format used by the current culture.

CanConvert(String, ValidationDataType, Boolean)

Determines whether the specified string can be converted to the specified data type. This version of the overloaded method allows you to specify whether values are tested using a culture-neutral format.

CanConvert(String, ValidationDataType)

Determines whether the specified string can be converted to the specified data type. This version of the overloaded method tests currency, double, and date values using the format used by the current culture.

public:
 static bool CanConvert(System::String ^ text, System::Web::UI::WebControls::ValidationDataType type);
public static bool CanConvert (string text, System.Web.UI.WebControls.ValidationDataType type);
static member CanConvert : string * System.Web.UI.WebControls.ValidationDataType -> bool
Public Shared Function CanConvert (text As String, type As ValidationDataType) As Boolean

Parameters

text
String

The string to test.

type
ValidationDataType

One of the ValidationDataType values.

Returns

true if the specified data string can be converted to the specified data type; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following example demonstrates using the CanConvert method to compare two integer values and determine whether the second integer can be converted.

Remarks

Use the CanConvert(String, ValidationDataType) method to determine whether the specified string can be converted to the specified data type. This method is commonly used to test whether a string can be converted to a compatible data type before performing an operation that depends on that data type.

This version of the method tests the value using the format used by the current culture. To test the value using a culture-neutral format, use the BaseCompareValidator.CanConvert(String, ValidationDataType, Boolean) overloaded version of this method.

CanConvert(String, ValidationDataType, Boolean)

Determines whether the specified string can be converted to the specified data type. This version of the overloaded method allows you to specify whether values are tested using a culture-neutral format.

public:
 static bool CanConvert(System::String ^ text, System::Web::UI::WebControls::ValidationDataType type, bool cultureInvariant);
public static bool CanConvert (string text, System.Web.UI.WebControls.ValidationDataType type, bool cultureInvariant);
static member CanConvert : string * System.Web.UI.WebControls.ValidationDataType * bool -> bool
Public Shared Function CanConvert (text As String, type As ValidationDataType, cultureInvariant As Boolean) As Boolean

Parameters

text
String

The string to test.

type
ValidationDataType

One of the ValidationDataType enumeration values.

cultureInvariant
Boolean

true to test values using a culture-neutral format; otherwise, false.

Returns

true if the specified data string can be converted to the specified data type; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Use the CanConvert(String, ValidationDataType, Boolean) method to determine whether the specified string can be converted to the specified data type. This method is commonly used to test whether a string can be converted to a compatible data type before performing an operation that depends on that data type. To indicate that values should be tested using a culture-neutral format, pass in true for the cultureInvariant parameter; otherwise, values are tested using the format used by the current culture. When testing a value using the format used by the current culture, consider using the BaseCompareValidator.CanConvert(String, ValidationDataType) overloaded version of this method.
