title: Dynamic conversion c#
body: <p>I know it has been asked several times but I'm having very hard time understanding the <code>&lt;T&gt;</code> concept.</p>
  
  <p>I'm working on a custom GridView and I want to set the <code>Cell.Value</code> property upon <code>CellUpdate</code> event. the problem is that in most cases I will have to take a string from the cell's control input while I have no idea how to 'dynamically' convert (in elegant way) this <code>String</code> to the original object which in this case is represented in <code>_Value</code> as object.</p>
  
  <p>Hope any of this make some sense, thank you.</p>
