I have it bookmarked, dunno when I'll have the chance to put it to use as I have just started dipping my toe into the mighty world of VB.Net.

only problem is it doesn't do "efficient" conversion.

It takes this
Code:
((int)strValue);

and converts it to this
Code:
CType(strValue, Integer)

for efficient conversion it should convert it to this
Code:
DirectCast(strValue, Integer)

as DirectCast does conversion many times faster than CType, which is present for backwards compatibility only.

Use DirectCast if you're absolutely positively sure that an object is the specified type and the run-time type of the expression are the same. If you're not sure but expect that the conversion will work, use CType.

The run-time performance of DirectCast is better than that of CType. However, DirectCast throws an InvalidCastException error if the argument types do not match, so you must be sure.

DirectCast only operates on reference types, not value types.

For reference types you should use DirectCast if you are sure the object can be cast as another object. If not use CType.

For value types instead of using CType you should use the Convert class (Convert.ToInt16(strValue).
