Is there a built-in class to do the conversion from a string to those common types?
For example, to convert "1,2,3,4" to a
Thickness
Brush
No. There are no built-in from-string-converters for Thickness
or Brush
in UWP.
But here's how you can create a StringToSolidColorBrushConverter
.
And here's the source code of .NET's System.Windows.ThicknessConverter
. Though, it works only in .NET Framework, you can take the converter algorithm from the FromString(..)
method.
