Tries to get a boxed T value from an input Object instance.
public static bool TryUnbox<T> (this object obj, out T value) where T : struct;static member TryUnbox : obj * 'T -> bool (requires 'T : struct)<Extension()>
Public Function TryUnbox(Of T As Structure) (obj As Object, ByRef value As T) As BooleanType Parameters
- T
The type of value to try to unbox.
Parameters
- value
- T
The resulting T value, if obj was in fact a boxed T value.
Returns
true if a T value was retrieved correctly, false otherwise.
Remarks
This extension behaves just like the following method:
public static bool TryUnbox<T>(this object obj, out T value)
{
if (obj is T)
{
value = (T)obj;
return true;
}
value = default;
return false;
}
But in a more efficient way, and with the ability to also assign the unboxed value directly on an existing T variable, which is not possible with the code above.
