像这样的怎么样?

public static bool CanConvert(string value, Type type) 
{ 
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value) || type == null) return false;
    System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter conv = System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(type);
    if (conv.CanConvertFrom(typeof(string)))
    { 
        try 
        {
            conv.ConvertFrom(value); 
            return true;
        } 
        catch 
        {
        } 
     } 
     return false;
  }

这可以很容易地转换为泛型方法。

 public static bool Is<T>(this string value)
 {
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value)) return false;
    var conv = System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(T));

    if (conv.CanConvertFrom(typeof(string)))
    { 
        try 
        {
            conv.ConvertFrom(value); 
            return true;
        } 
        catch 
        {
        } 
     } 
     return false;
}

我最近还需要一个通用的TryParse。这是我想到的;

public static T? TryParse<T>(string value, TryParseHandler<T> handler) where T : struct
{
    if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(value))
        return null;
    T result;
    if (handler(value, out result))
        return result;
    Trace.TraceWarning("Invalid value '{0}'", value);
    return null;
}

public delegate bool TryParseHandler<T>(string value, out T result);

那么这就是一个简单的调用问题:

var value = TryParse<int>("123", int.TryParse);
var value2 = TryParse<decimal>("123.123", decimal.TryParse);

你应该使用TypeDescriptor类:

public static T Convert<T>(this string input)
{
    try
    {
        var converter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(T));
        if(converter != null)
        {
            // Cast ConvertFromString(string text) : object to (T)
            return (T)converter.ConvertFromString(input);
        }
        return default(T);
    }
    catch (NotSupportedException)
    {
        return default(T);
    }
}

我使用Charlie Brown的答案作为Json.NET的JObject扩展方法。

public static class JObjectExtension
{
    public delegate bool TryParseHandler<T>(string value, out T result);

    public static bool TryParsePropertyAs<T>(
        this JObject jObject,
        string propertyName,
        TryParseHandler<T> parser,
        out T value)
    {
        value = default;

        if (!jObject.TryGetValue(propertyName, out var jToken)) return false;

        if (!parser(jToken.Value<string>(), out T result)) return false;

        value = result;

        return true;
    }
}

正如你所说，TryParse不是接口的一部分。它也不是任何给定基类的成员，因为它实际上是静态的，而静态函数不能是虚函数。编译器没有办法保证T确实有一个叫TryParse的成员，所以这行不通。

正如@Mark所说，您可以创建自己的接口并使用自定义类型，但对于内置类型就不太走运了。

public static class Primitive
{
    public static DateTime? TryParseExact(string text, string format, IFormatProvider formatProvider = null, DateTimeStyles? style = null)
    {
        DateTime result;
        if (DateTime.TryParseExact(text, format, formatProvider, style ?? DateTimeStyles.None, out result))
            return result;
        return null;
    }

    public static TResult? TryParse<TResult>(string text) where TResult : struct
    {
        TResult result;
        if (Delegates<TResult>.TryParse(text, out result))
            return result;
        return null;
    }

    public static bool TryParse<TResult>(string text, out TResult result) => Delegates<TResult>.TryParse(text, out result);

    public static class Delegates<TResult>
    {
        private delegate bool TryParseDelegate(string text, out TResult result);

        private static readonly TryParseDelegate _parser = (TryParseDelegate)Delegate.CreateDelegate(typeof(TryParseDelegate), typeof(TResult), "TryParse");

        public static bool TryParse(string text, out TResult result) => _parser(text, out result);
    }
}
