EdmToClrConverter.AsClrValue Method (IEdmValue, Type)

Converts edmValue to a CLR value of the specified type.

Namespace:  Microsoft.Data.Edm.EdmToClrConversion
Assembly:  Microsoft.Data.Edm (in Microsoft.Data.Edm.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function AsClrValue ( _
    edmValue As IEdmValue, _
    clrType As Type _
) As Object
'Usage
Dim instance As EdmToClrConverter 
Dim edmValue As IEdmValue 
Dim clrType As Type 
Dim returnValue As Object 

returnValue = instance.AsClrValue(edmValue, _
    clrType)

public Object AsClrValue(
    IEdmValue edmValue,
    Type clrType
)

public:
Object^ AsClrValue(
    IEdmValue^ edmValue, 
    Type^ clrType
)

member AsClrValue : 
        edmValue:IEdmValue * 
        clrType:Type -> Object

public function AsClrValue(
    edmValue : IEdmValue, 
    clrType : Type
) : Object

Parameters

• edmValue
  Type: Microsoft.Data.Edm.Values.IEdmValue
  The EDM value to be converted.

• clrType
  Type: System.Type
  The CLR type.

Return Value

Type: System.Object
A CLR value converted from edmValue.

Remarks

Supported values for T are:

• CLR primitive types, such as String and Int32.

• CLR enum types.

• IEnumerable<T>

• ICollection<T>

• IList<T>

• CLR classes with default constructors and public properties with setters and collection properties of the following shapes:

  • IEnumerable<T> EnumerableProperty { get; set; }

  • ICollection<T> CollectionProperty { get; set; }

  • IList<T> ListProperty { get; set; }

  • ICollection<T> CollectionProperty { get { return this.nonNullCollection; } }

  • IList<T> ListProperty { get { return this.nonNullList; } }

This method performs boxing and unboxing for value types. Use value-type specific methods such as AsClrString(IEdmValue) to avoid boxing and unboxing.
