HostFunctionstoChar Method

Converts the specified value to a strongly typed Char instance.

Namespace: Microsoft.ClearScript
Assembly: ClearScript.Core (in ClearScript.Core.dll) Version: 7.4.5
Syntax
Copy
public Object toChar(
	IConvertible value
)

Parameters

value  IConvertible
The value to convert.

Return Value

Object
An object that can be passed to a parameter of type Char.
Remarks
This function converts value to Char and packages the result to retain its numeric type across the host-script boundary. It may be useful for passing arguments to Char parameters if the script engine does not support that type natively.
Example
The following code adds an element of type Char to a strongly typed list. It assumes that an instance of ExtendedHostFunctions is exposed under the name "host" (see AddHostObject).
JavaScript
Copy
// import types
var ElementT = host.type("System.Char");
var ListT = host.type("System.Collections.Generic.List", ElementT);
// create a list
var list = host.newObj(ListT);
// add a list element
list.Add(host.toChar(42));
