                try
                {
                    return (T)Convert.ChangeType(obj, typeof(T));
                }
                catch(InvalidCastException)
                {
                    continue;
                }

                try
                {
                    return (T)Convert.ChangeType(obj, typeof(T));
                }
                catch(InvalidCastException)
                {
                    continue;
                }

well, that catch will catch invalid cast exception, so the problem is something else, or you didn't re-build

i am using mono but i don't know if this interferes with the code running because it prints out that there was an exception

phaseshift•2y ago

look at the call stack then

Angius•2y ago

As a side note... why Mono...?

annoyingbOP•2y ago

what else? coreclr made no sense to me

Angius•2y ago

How did it not make sense? .NET is the cross-platform runtime There's zero reason to use Mono for any new project Unless you're trying to do some weird shit like running WPF on Linux

the docs told me not to use some files but to run the code i needed the files and some files that i needed weren't mentioned. also, isn't coreclr still in development?

Angius•2y ago

Uh, no? Hasn't been for years Hell, it's no longer even named .NET Core Now it's just .NET Has been this way for 3 major versions already

annoyingbOP•2y ago

oh well are there any docs that are simple and make sense?

Angius•2y ago
