This code helps to Convert your String data into different types using Generic TryParse.

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);

//How to use?

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