title: state at compile time not known
body: <p>I need a way to Parse an string into an integer value in c#. The problem is the user chosses a string from a combo box which contains strings such as "AAAAA" or "5". That means only at run time it is known if the parameter is a real string or an string which can be parsed to an integer. I tried around with reflection and have the fitting Parameter object.</p>
  
  <pre><code>ParameterInfo p = ps[i];
  Type t = p.ParameterType;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't know how to go on from there or if it even is possible. I can't use if else statments because the program is supposed to load other interfaces with new parameters as well. So I could handle the default ones with if else statmentes but when a new interface with new Methodinfos is loaded that dos not work anymore.</p>
