Generic tryparse method 2

[Badgers]

Hi,

I'm trying to do a generic tryparse for any data type, well stuff like int, double, decimal etc.

So if a value is null will just return defaulv value of 0.

here is an example of what i'd like to convert from:

protected decimal DecimalTryParse(object value)
{
decimal valueConverted = 0;

if (value != null)
{
decimal.TryParse(value.ToString(), out valueConverted);
}

return valueConverted;
}

Thanks inadvance

public T TryParse<T>(object value)
{
   if(value == null) return default(T);
   return (T) Convert.ChangeType(typeof(T), value);
}
