Detailed Description

Converts arbitrary values into objects specific by TypeCodes. For each TypeCode this class calls corresponding converter which applies extended conversion rules to convert the values.

var value1 = TypeConverter.toType(TypeCode.Integer, "123.456"); // Result: 123
var value2 = TypeConverter.toType(TypeCode.DateTime, 123); // Result: DateTime(123)
var value3 = TypeConverter.toType(TypeCode.Boolean, "F"); // Result: false
