MultiColumnTypeConverterT Class

Abstract base class for type converters that provides conversions between .NET data types and CSV data that is distributed across multiple columns of a CSV file.

Definition

Namespace: FolkerKinzel.CsvTools.Mappings.TypeConverters
Assembly: FolkerKinzel.CsvTools.Mappings (in FolkerKinzel.CsvTools.Mappings.dll) Version: 1.1.0+1263e8243dc2cd78095f678f813d7d9c52ea4315

C#

public abstract class MultiColumnTypeConverter<T> : ITypeConverter<T>, 
	ICloneable

VB

Public MustInherit Class MultiColumnTypeConverter(Of T)
	Implements ITypeConverter(Of T), ICloneable

C++

generic<typename T>
public ref class MultiColumnTypeConverter abstract : ITypeConverter<T>, 
	ICloneable

F#

[<AbstractClassAttribute>]
type MultiColumnTypeConverter<'T> = 
    class
        interface ITypeConverter<'T>
        interface ICloneable
    end

Inheritance: Object MultiColumnTypeConverterT

Implements: ITypeConverterT, ICloneable

Type Parameters

T: The data Type that the MultiColumnTypeConverterT converts.

Remarks

A ready-to-use implementation of this class can't be provided because their structure depends on the CSV file to be processed. Fortunately, writing a derived class is easy:

Notes to Implementers

Pass a CsvMapping instance that targets the required columns of the CSV file to the constructor, and override the abstract members. (For overriding Clone using the copy constructor (MultiColumnTypeConverterT(MultiColumnTypeConverterT)) is required!)

Constructors

MultiColumnTypeConverterT(MultiColumnTypeConverterT)	Copy constructor used by derived classes to implement ICloneable.
MultiColumnTypeConverterT(CsvMappingBuilder, Boolean, T)	Constructor used by derived classes.

Properties

AcceptsNull	Gets a value indicating whether the converter accepts null references as input.
DataType	The data type the converter converts.
DefaultValue	Gets the value to return if the parser finds no data in the CSV, or if parsing fails and the Throwing property is false.
Mapping	The CsvMapping to use to access those columns of the CSV file that are required for the Type conversion.
Throwing	Gets a value indicating whether the converter throws a FormatException when a parsing error occurs, or if it returns DefaultValue value instead.

Methods

Clone	Creates a deep copy of the MultiColumnTypeConverterT instance.
ConvertToCsv(T)	Writes value to the selected fields of Record using Mapping.
ConvertToCsv(Object)	Writes value to the selected fields of Record using Mapping.
DoConvertToCsv	Writes a T value to several properties of Mapping.
Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
Parse	Converts the content of Mapping to T.
ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
TryParse	Tries to convert the content of Mapping to T.

Thread Safety

Static members of this type are not safe for multi-threaded operations. Instance members of this type are not safe for multi-threaded operations.
