Object.Parse methods

by whoiskevin In reply to Working with the System.C ...

I didn't see mention of the Parse methods of the various objects. The Convert class is not really an object solution to the problem of converting a type and is really just equivalent to the parse methods available for each class.

For syntax and design reasons I prefer the Parse methods available on each class

The .NET environment provides various ways to solve programming problems, so thanks for pointing out the parse method.
