Methods

As<T>(Any)

Attempt to cast the inner value to the specified type T. If the cast isn't possible, null is returned.

This is the equivalent of the C# as operator:

// Using objects:
int? x = obj as int?;

// Using Any:
int? x = any.As<int>();

[Pure]
public static T? As<T>(this Any any) where T : struct

Parameters

any Any

Returns

T?

Type Parameters

T

CastNullable<T>(Any)

Attempt to cast the inner value to the specified type T. If the inner value is null, this method returns null too. If the inner value is not null but the cast isn't possible, an exception will be thrown.

This is the equivalent of the C# cast expression:

// Using objects:
int? x = (int?)obj;

// Using Any:
int? x = any.CastNullable<int>();

public static T? CastNullable<T>(this Any any) where T : struct

Parameters

any Any

Returns

T?

Type Parameters

T

Remarks

Alternatively to calling this method, for many of the .NET built-in value types you can use regular cast syntax instead, e.g. (int?)myAny.

Exceptions

InvalidCastException

The inner value is not of type T.

Cast<T>(Any)

Attempt to cast the inner value to the specified type T. If the cast isn't possible, an exception will be thrown.

This is the equivalent of the C# cast expression:

// Using objects:
int x = (int)obj;

// Using Any:
int x = any.Cast<int>();

public static T Cast<T>(this Any any) where T : struct

Parameters

any Any

Returns

T

Type Parameters

T

Remarks

Alternatively to calling this method, for many of the .NET built-in value types you can use regular cast syntax instead, e.g. (int)myAny.

Exceptions

InvalidCastException

The inner value is not of type T.

NullReferenceException

The inner value is null.

Is<T>(Any)

Check if the value is of the specified type T.

This is the equivalent of the C# is operator:

// Using objects:
if (obj is int) { /* ... */ }

// Using Any:
if (any.Is<int>()) { /* ... */ }

[Pure]
public static bool Is<T>(this Any any) where T : struct

Parameters

any Any

Returns

bool

Type Parameters

T

Is<T>(Any, out T)

Check if the value is of the specified type T cast to that type if it is.

This is the equivalent of the C# is operator:

// Using objects:
if (obj is int x) { /* ... */ }

// Using Any:
if (any.Is(out int x)) { /* ... */ }

public static bool Is<T>(this Any any, out T value) where T : struct

Parameters

any Any

value T

Returns

bool

Type Parameters

T
