Examples
Safely converting value types
Conversion functions are located in Energy.Base.Cast class. These functions will try to convert value to desired type or use defaults if value cannot be converted.
int numberInt = Energy.Base.Cast.StringToInteger("123");
long numberLong = Energy.Base.Cast.StringToLong("1234567890");
double numberDouble = Energy.Base.Cast.StringToDouble("3.1415"); // or "3,1415"
Console.WriteLine(Energy.Base.Cast.DoubleToString(numberDouble));
