EdmToClrConverter.AsClrValue<T> Method (IEdmValue)

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(Of T) ( _
    edmValue As IEdmValue _
) As T
'Usage
Dim instance As EdmToClrConverter 
Dim edmValue As IEdmValue 
Dim returnValue As T

returnValue = instance.AsClrValue(edmValue)

public T AsClrValue<T>(
    IEdmValue edmValue
)

public:
generic<typename T>
T AsClrValue(
    IEdmValue^ edmValue
)

member AsClrValue : 
        edmValue:IEdmValue -> 'T 

JScript does not support generic types and methods.

Type Parameters

• T
  The CLR type.

Parameters

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

Return Value

Type: T
A CLR value of the specified type.

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.
