The Gallio.Runtime.Conversions namespace contains types for converting values from one type to another based on extensible conversion rules.

Classes

	Class	Description
	ArrayToArrayConversionRule	Converts arrays from one-dimensional arrays of one element type to another.
	BaseConverter	An abstract base class implementation of IConverter that mostly validates arguments and provides a default implement for CanConvert(Type, Type) based on GetConversionCost(Type, Type).
	Converter	Service locator for IConverter.
	ConvertibleToConvertibleConversionRule	Converts values among IConvertible types.
	CustomConversionRule	Conversion rule for custom user conversions.
	CustomConverters	Extensibility point for object conversion managed by RuleBasedConverter.
	NullConverter	A null implementation of a converter that does not actually support converting values.
	ObjectToStringConversionRule	Converts an Object into a String using ToString()()().
	RuleBasedConverter	A rule-based converter uses a set of IConversionRules to perform conversions.
	StringToEnumConversionRule	Converts a text representation of a Enum to its corresponding value.
	StringToXmlDocumentConversionRule	Converts a String into an XmlDocument assuming the string is valid xml.
	XPathNavigableToXPathNavigatorConversionRule	Converts IXPathNavigable objects to XPathNavigator objects.
	XPathNavigatorToStringConversionRule	Converts an XPathNavigator into a String by value or outer xml.
	XPathNavigatorToXmlSerializableTypeConversionRule	Converts XPathNavigator objects to XML serializable objects that have the XmlTypeAttribute.

Structures

	Structure	Description
	ConversionCost	Describes the relative cost of performing a conversion so that different conversions can be ranked by cost.

Interfaces

	Interface	Description
	IConversionRule	A conversion rule encapsulates an algorithm for converting a value from a source type to a target type.
	IConverter	A converter converts a value from a source type to a target type.

Delegates

	Delegate	Description
	Conversion	Represents a method that converts an object into an object of another type.
	Conversion<(Of <(TSource, TTarget>)>)	Represents a strongly-typed method that converts an object into an object of another type.
	FormattingFunc	Represents a method that displays an object in a readable textual form.
	FormattingFunc<(Of <(T>)>)	Represents a strongly-typed method that displays an object in a readable textual form.
