通用TryParse

我正在尝试创建一个通用扩展，该扩展使用'TryParse'检查字符串是否为给定类型：

public static bool Is<T>(this string input)
{
    T notUsed;
    return T.TryParse(input, out notUsed);
}

由于无法解析符号“ TryParse”，因此无法编译

据我了解，“ TryParse”不是任何接口的一部分。

这有可能吗？

更新：

使用下面的答案，我想出了：

public static bool Is<T>(this string input)
{
    try
    {
        TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(T)).ConvertFromString(input);
    }
    catch
    {
        return false;
    }

    return true;
}

它工作得很好，但是我认为以这种方式使用异常对我来说不合适。

更新2：

修改为通过类型而不是使用泛型：

public static bool Is(this string input, Type targetType)
{
    try
    {
        TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(targetType).ConvertFromString(input);
        return true;
    }
    catch
    {
        return false;
    }
}

您应该使用TypeDescriptor类：

public static T Convert<T>(this string input)
{
    try
    {
        var converter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(T));
        if(converter != null)
        {
            // Cast ConvertFromString(string text) : object to (T)
            return (T)converter.ConvertFromString(input);
        }
        return default(T);
    }
    catch (NotSupportedException)
    {
        return default(T);
    }
}

我最近还需要通用的TryParse。这是我想出的；

public static T? TryParse<T>(string value, TryParseHandler<T> handler) where T : struct
{
    if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(value))
        return null;
    T result;
    if (handler(value, out result))
        return result;
    Trace.TraceWarning("Invalid value '{0}'", value);
    return null;
}

public delegate bool TryParseHandler<T>(string value, out T result);

然后，只需调用即可：

var value = TryParse<int>("123", int.TryParse);
var value2 = TryParse<decimal>("123.123", decimal.TryParse);

使用try / catches进行流控制是一个糟糕的策略。抛出异常会导致性能下降，而运行时会围绕该异常运行。而是在转换之前验证数据。

var attemptedValue = "asdfasdsd";
var type = typeof(int);
var converter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(type);
if (converter != null &&  converter.IsValid(attemptedValue))
    return converter.ConvertFromString(attemptedValue);
else
    return Activator.CreateInstance(type);

如果您设置使用TryParse，则可以使用反射并按以下方式进行操作：

public static bool Is<T>(this string input)
{
    var type = typeof (T);
    var temp = default(T);
    var method = type.GetMethod(
        "TryParse",
        new[]
            {
                typeof (string),
                Type.GetType(string.Format("{0}&", type.FullName))
            });
    return (bool) method.Invoke(null, new object[] {input, temp});
}

这对每种泛型类型都使用了静态构造函数，因此，仅在您首次对给定类型调用它时，才需要执行昂贵的工作。它处理系统名称空间中具有TryParse方法的所有类型。它也适用于每个枚举（结构）的可空版本，但枚举除外。

    public static bool TryParse<t>(this string Value, out t result)
    {
        return TryParser<t>.TryParse(Value.SafeTrim(), out result);
    }
    private delegate bool TryParseDelegate<t>(string value, out t result);
    private static class TryParser<T>
    {
        private static TryParseDelegate<T> parser;
        // Static constructor:
        static TryParser()
        {
            Type t = typeof(T);
            if (t.IsEnum)
                AssignClass<T>(GetEnumTryParse<T>());

        else
            return result;
    }

    private static bool TryParseNullable<t>(string Value, out t? Result)
        where t: struct
    {
        t temp;
        if (TryParser<t>.TryParse(Value, out temp))
        {
            Result = temp;
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
            Result = null;
            return false;
        }
    }

这样的事情怎么样？

public static bool CanConvert(string value, Type type) 
{ 
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value) || type == null) return false;
    System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter conv = System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(type);
    if (conv.CanConvertFrom(typeof(string)))
    { 
        try 
        {
            conv.ConvertFrom(value); 
            return true;
        } 
        catch 
        {
        } 
     } 
     return false;
  }

可以很容易地将其转换为通用方法。

 public static bool Is<T>(this string value)
 {
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value)) return false;
    var conv = System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(T));

    if (conv.CanConvertFrom(typeof(string)))
    { 
        try 
        {
            conv.ConvertFrom(value); 
            return true;
        } 
        catch 
        {
        } 
     } 
     return false;
}

您不能在常规类型上执行此操作。

您可以做的是创建一个接口ITryParsable，并将其用于实现此接口的自定义类型。

我想虽然您打算将其用于像int和这样的基本类型DateTime。您不能更改这些类型以实现新的接口。

受Charlie Brown在此处发布的解决方案的启发，我使用反射创建了一个通用的TryParse，该反射可以选择输出解析后的值：

/// <summary>
/// Tries to convert the specified string representation of a logical value to
/// its type T equivalent. A return value indicates whether the conversion
/// succeeded or failed.
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">The type to try and convert to.</typeparam>
/// <param name="value">A string containing the value to try and convert.</param>
/// <param name="result">If the conversion was successful, the converted value of type T.</param>
/// <returns>If value was converted successfully, true; otherwise false.</returns>
public static bool TryParse<T>(string value, out T result) where T : struct {
    var tryParseMethod = typeof(T).GetMethod("TryParse", BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public, null, new [] { typeof(string), typeof(T).MakeByRefType() }, null);
    var parameters = new object[] { value, null };

    var retVal = (bool)tryParseMethod.Invoke(null, parameters);

    result = (T)parameters[1];
    return retVal;
}

/// <summary>
/// Tries to convert the specified string representation of a logical value to
/// its type T equivalent. A return value indicates whether the conversion
/// succeeded or failed.
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">The type to try and convert to.</typeparam>
/// <param name="value">A string containing the value to try and convert.</param>
/// <returns>If value was converted successfully, true; otherwise false.</returns>
public static bool TryParse<T>(string value) where T : struct {
    T throwaway;
    var retVal = TryParse(value, out throwaway);
    return retVal;
}

因此可以这样称呼：

string input = "123";
decimal myDecimal;

bool myIntSuccess = TryParse<int>(input);
bool myDecimalSuccess = TryParse<decimal>(input, out myDecimal);

更新：
还要感谢我非常喜欢的YotaXP解决方案，我创建了一个不使用扩展方法但仍然具有单例功能的版本，从而最大限度地减少了进行反射的需要：

/// <summary>
/// Provides some extra parsing functionality for value types.
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">The value type T to operate on.</typeparam>
public static class TryParseHelper<T> where T : struct {
    private delegate bool TryParseFunc(string str, out T result);

    private static TryParseFunc tryParseFuncCached;

    private static TryParseFunc tryParseCached {
        get {
            return tryParseFuncCached ?? (tryParseFuncCached = Delegate.CreateDelegate(typeof(TryParseFunc), typeof(T), "TryParse") as TryParseFunc);
        }
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Tries to convert the specified string representation of a logical value to
    /// its type T equivalent. A return value indicates whether the conversion
    /// succeeded or failed.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="value">A string containing the value to try and convert.</param>
    /// <param name="result">If the conversion was successful, the converted value of type T.</param>
    /// <returns>If value was converted successfully, true; otherwise false.</returns>
    public static bool TryParse(string value, out T result) {
        return tryParseCached(value, out result);
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Tries to convert the specified string representation of a logical value to
    /// its type T equivalent. A return value indicates whether the conversion
    /// succeeded or failed.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="value">A string containing the value to try and convert.</param>
    /// <returns>If value was converted successfully, true; otherwise false.</returns>
    public static bool TryParse(string value) {
        T throwaway;
        return TryParse(value, out throwaway);
    }
}

这样称呼它：

string input = "987";
decimal myDecimal;

bool myIntSuccess = TryParseHelper<int>.TryParse(input);
bool myDecimalSuccess = TryParseHelper<decimal>.TryParse(input, out myDecimal);

晚会有点晚了，但这就是我的想法。没有例外，一次（每种类型）反射。

public static class Extensions {
    public static T? ParseAs<T>(this string str) where T : struct {
        T val;
        return GenericHelper<T>.TryParse(str, out val) ? val : default(T?);
    }
    public static T ParseAs<T>(this string str, T defaultVal) {
        T val;
        return GenericHelper<T>.TryParse(str, out val) ? val : defaultVal;
    }

    private static class GenericHelper<T> {
        public delegate bool TryParseFunc(string str, out T result);

        private static TryParseFunc tryParse;
        public static TryParseFunc TryParse {
            get {
                if (tryParse == null)
                    tryParse = Delegate.CreateDelegate(
                        typeof(TryParseFunc), typeof(T), "TryParse") as TryParseFunc;
                return tryParse;
            }
        }
    }
}

需要额外的类，因为在通用类中不允许使用扩展方法。如下所示，这允许简单的用法，并且仅在首次使用类型时命中反射。

"5643".ParseAs<int>()

这是另一个选择。

我编写了一个类，可以轻松注册任意数量的TryParse处理程序。它可以让我做到这一点：

var tp = new TryParser();

tp.Register<int>(int.TryParse);
tp.Register<decimal>(decimal.TryParse);
tp.Register<double>(double.TryParse);

int x;
if (tp.TryParse("42", out x))
{
    Console.WriteLine(x);
};

我被42打印到控制台。

该类是：

public class TryParser
{
    public delegate bool TryParseDelegate<T>(string s, out T result);

    private Dictionary<Type, Delegate> _tryParsers = new Dictionary<Type, Delegate>();

    public void Register<T>(TryParseDelegate<T> d)
    {
        _tryParsers[typeof(T)] = d;
    }

    public bool Deregister<T>()
    {
        return _tryParsers.Remove(typeof(T));
    }

    public bool TryParse<T>(string s, out T result)
    {
        if (!_tryParsers.ContainsKey(typeof(T)))
        {
            throw new ArgumentException("Does not contain parser for " + typeof(T).FullName + ".");
        }
        var d = (TryParseDelegate<T>)_tryParsers[typeof(T)];
        return d(s, out result);
    }
}

当我想做几乎所有的事情时，我必须经过艰苦的努力才能实现，并且需要反思。给定T，思考typeof(T)并寻找一个TryParse或Parse方法，如果找到它，则调用它。

这是我的尝试。我把它当作“运动”来做。我试图使其与现有的“ Convert.ToX（） ”-ones 类似。但这是扩展方法：

    public static bool TryParse<T>(this String str, out T parsedValue)
    {
        try
        {
            parsedValue = (T)Convert.ChangeType(str, typeof(T));
            return true;
        }

        catch { parsedValue = default(T); return false; }
    }

如您所说，TryParse它不是接口的一部分。它也不是任何给定基类的成员，因为它实际上是static并且static函数不能是virtual。因此，编译器无法确保T实际上有一个名为的成员TryParse，因此这是行不通的。

正如@Mark所说，您可以创建自己的界面并使用自定义类型，但是对于内置类型却很不走运。

public static class Primitive
{
    public static DateTime? TryParseExact(string text, string format, IFormatProvider formatProvider = null, DateTimeStyles? style = null)
    {
        DateTime result;
        if (DateTime.TryParseExact(text, format, formatProvider, style ?? DateTimeStyles.None, out result))
            return result;
        return null;
    }

    public static TResult? TryParse<TResult>(string text) where TResult : struct
    {
        TResult result;
        if (Delegates<TResult>.TryParse(text, out result))
            return result;
        return null;
    }

    public static bool TryParse<TResult>(string text, out TResult result) => Delegates<TResult>.TryParse(text, out result);

    public static class Delegates<TResult>
    {
        private delegate bool TryParseDelegate(string text, out TResult result);

        private static readonly TryParseDelegate _parser = (TryParseDelegate)Delegate.CreateDelegate(typeof(TryParseDelegate), typeof(TResult), "TryParse");

        public static bool TryParse(string text, out TResult result) => _parser(text, out result);
    }
}

这是“一般约束”的问题。因为您没有特定的界面，所以除非您遵循上一个答案的建议，否则您将陷入困境。

有关此文档，请检查以下链接：

http://msdn.microsoft.com/zh-CN/library/ms379564(VS.80).aspx

它向您展示了如何使用这些约束，并且应该为您提供更多线索。

从http://blogs.msdn.com/b/davidebb/archive/2009/10/23/using-c-dynamic-to-call-static-members.aspx借来的

当遵循此参考时：如何在C＃4.0中使用动态类型调用静态方法？

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Dynamic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Reflection;

namespace Utils
{
   public class StaticMembersDynamicWrapper : DynamicObject
   {
      private Type _type;

      public StaticMembersDynamicWrapper(Type type) { _type = type; }

      // Handle static methods
      public override bool TryInvokeMember(InvokeMemberBinder binder, object[] args, out object result)
      {
         var methods = _type
            .GetMethods(BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy | BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public)
            .Where(methodInfo => methodInfo.Name == binder.Name);

         var method = methods.FirstOrDefault();
         if (method != null)
         {
            result = method.Invoke(null, args);
            return true;
         }

         result = null;
         return false;
      }
   }

   public static class StaticMembersDynamicWrapperExtensions
   {
      static Dictionary<Type, DynamicObject> cache =
         new Dictionary<Type, DynamicObject>
         {
            {typeof(double), new StaticMembersDynamicWrapper(typeof(double))},
            {typeof(float), new StaticMembersDynamicWrapper(typeof(float))},
            {typeof(uint), new StaticMembersDynamicWrapper(typeof(uint))},
            {typeof(int), new StaticMembersDynamicWrapper(typeof(int))},
            {typeof(sbyte), new StaticMembersDynamicWrapper(typeof(sbyte))}
         };

      /// <summary>
      /// Allows access to static fields, properties, and methods, resolved at run-time.
      /// </summary>
      public static dynamic StaticMembers(this Type type)
      {
         DynamicObject retVal;
         if (!cache.TryGetValue(type, out retVal))
            return new StaticMembersDynamicWrapper(type);

         return retVal;
      }
   }
}

并按如下所示使用它：

  public static T? ParseNumeric<T>(this string str, bool throws = true)
     where T : struct
  {
     var statics = typeof(T).StaticMembers();

     if (throws) return statics.Parse(str);

     T retval;
     if (!statics.TryParse(str, out retval)) return null;

     return retval;
  }

我设法得到了这样的东西

    var result = "44".TryParse<int>();

    Console.WriteLine( "type={0}, value={1}, valid={2}",        
    result.Value.GetType(), result.Value, result.IsValid );

这是我的代码

 public static class TryParseGeneric
    {
        //extend int
        public static dynamic TryParse<T>( this string input )
        {    
            dynamic runner = new StaticMembersDynamicWrapper( typeof( T ) );

            T value;
            bool isValid = runner.TryParse( input, out value );
            return new { IsValid = isValid, Value = value };
        }
    }


    public class StaticMembersDynamicWrapper : DynamicObject
    {
        private readonly Type _type;
        public StaticMembersDynamicWrapper( Type type ) { _type = type; }

        // Handle static properties
        public override bool TryGetMember( GetMemberBinder binder, out object result )
        {
            PropertyInfo prop = _type.GetProperty( binder.Name, BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy | BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public );
            if ( prop == null )
            {
                result = null;
                return false;
            }

            result = prop.GetValue( null, null );
            return true;
        }

        // Handle static methods
        public override bool TryInvokeMember( InvokeMemberBinder binder, object [] args, out object result )
        {
            var methods = _type
            .GetMethods( BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy | BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public ).Where( methodInfo => methodInfo.Name == binder.Name );

            var method = methods.FirstOrDefault();

            if ( method == null )
            {
                result = null;

                return false;
            }

            result = method.Invoke( null, args );

            return true;
        }
    }

StaticMembersDynamicWrapper改编自David Ebbo的文章（它引发了AmbiguousMatchException）

public static T Get<T>(string val)
{ 
    return (T) TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof (T)).ConvertFromInvariantString(val);
}

以相关方式使用TypeDescriptor类TryParse：

public static bool TryParse<T>(this string input, out T parsedValue)
{
    parsedValue = default(T);
    try
    {
        var converter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(T));
        parsedValue = (T)converter.ConvertFromString(input);
        return true;
    }
    catch (NotSupportedException)
    {
        return false;
    }
}

使用上面的信息，这就是我开发的。它将可能直接转换该对象，否则它将将该对象转换为字符串，并为所需的对象类型调用TryParse方法。

我将方法缓存在字典中，因为每次遇到时都会减少方法获取负载。

可以测试对象是否可以直接转换为目标类型，这将进一步减少字符串转换部分。但是，我暂时将其保留。

    /// <summary>
    /// Used to store TryParse converter methods

    private static readonly Dictionary<Type, MethodInfo> TypeConverters = new Dictionary<Type, MethodInfo>();

    public static bool TryParse<T>([CanBeNull] object obj, out T result)
    {
        result = default(T);

        try
        {
            switch (obj)
            {
                // don't waste time on null objects
                case null: return false;

                // if the object is already of type T, just return the value
                case T val:
                    result = val;
                    return true;
            }

            // convert the object into type T via string conversion
            var input = ((obj as string) ?? obj.ToString()).Trim();
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(input)) return false;

            var type = typeof (T);
            Debug.WriteLine($"Info: {nameof(TryParse)}<{type.Name}>({obj.GetType().Name}=\"{input}\")");

            if (! TypeConverters.TryGetValue(type, out var method))
            {
                // get the TryParse method for this type
                method = type.GetMethod("TryParse",
                    new[]
                    {
                        typeof (string),
                        Type.GetType($"{type.FullName}&")
                    });

                if (method is null)
                    Debug.WriteLine($"FAILED: Cannot get method for {type.Name}.TryParse()");

                // store it so we don't have to do this again
                TypeConverters.Add(type, method);
            }

            // have to keep a reference to parameters if you want to get the returned ref value
            var parameters = new object[] {input, null};
            if ((bool?) method?.Invoke(null, parameters) == true)
            {
                result = (T) parameters[1];
                return true;
            }                
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Debug.WriteLine(ex);
        }

        return false;
    }

我在这里提出了很多想法，最后提出了一个非常简短的解决方案。

这是字符串的扩展方法

enter code here

我在数值类型上使用了与TryParse方法相同的外观

    /// <summary>
    /// string.TryParse()
    /// 
    /// This generic extension method will take a string
    ///     make sure it is not null or empty
    ///     make sure it represents some type of number e.g. "123" not "abc"
    ///     It then calls the appropriate converter for the type of T
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">The type of the desired retrunValue e.g. int, float, byte, decimal...</typeparam>
    /// <param name="targetText">The text to be converted</param>
    /// <param name="returnValue">a populated value of the type T or the default(T) value which is likely to be 0</param>
    /// <returns>true if the string was successfully parsed and converted otherwise false</returns>
    /// <example>
    /// float testValue = 0;
    ///  if ( "1234".TryParse<float>( out testValue ) )
    ///  {
    ///      doSomethingGood();
    ///  }
    ///  else
    ///  {
    ///      handleTheBadness();
    ///  }
    /// </example>
    public static bool TryParse<T>(this string targetText, out T returnValue )
    {
        bool returnStatus = false;

        returnValue = default(T);

        //
        // make sure the string is not null or empty and likely a number...
        // call whatever you like here or just leave it out - I would
        // at least make sure the string was not null or empty  
        //
        if ( ValidatedInputAnyWayYouLike(targetText) )
        {

            //
            // try to catch anything that blows up in the conversion process...
            //
            try
            {
                var type = typeof(T);
                var converter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(type);

                if (converter != null && converter.IsValid(targetText))
                {
                    returnValue = (T)converter.ConvertFromString(targetText);
                    returnStatus = true;
                }

            }
            catch
            {
                // just swallow the exception and return the default values for failure
            }

        }

        return (returnStatus);

    }

T.TryParse ...为什么？

我认为拥有这种通用TryParse功能没有任何好处。解析和转换不同类型之间的数据的策略过多，可能会有冲突的行为。此功能如何知道以上下文无关的方式选择哪种策略？

• 具有专用TryParse函数的类可以被调用
• 具有专用Parse函数的类可以用try-catch和bool结果包装
• 具有运算符重载的类，您将如何让它们处理解析？
• 类型描述符是使用内置的Convert.ChangeType。该API可在运行时自定义。您的功能是否需要默认行为或允许自定义？
• 您是否应该允许任何映射框架尝试为您解析？
• 您将如何处理上述冲突？

用于从XDocument获取后代的版本。

public static T Get<T>(XDocument xml, string descendant, T @default)
{
    try
    {
        var converter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof (T));
        if (converter != null)
        {
            return (T) converter.ConvertFromString(xml.Descendants(descendant).Single().Value);
        }
        return @default;
    }
    catch
    {
        return @default;
    }
}
