Syntax
Try_Convert (DataType, Expression)
The Try_Convert function contains the following arguments.
| Argument name | Description |
|---|---|
| DataType |
The data type into which to convert Expression. |
| Expression |
The value to be converted. |
Remarks
Try_Convert takes the value passed to it and tries to convert it to the specified DataType. If the conversion succeeds, Try_Convert returns the value as the specified DataType; if an error occurs, null is returned. However if you request a conversion that is explicitly not permitted, then Try_Convert fails with an error.
