converting string to Types

[NachoShaw]

Hey

I was trying not to ask but im not figuring this out properly. I am getting data from a data table. All of the data where all of the data is in string format. depending on the type of value, i need to convert the type as i loop through a dataset.

Data examples (there arent many)

• "LEFT HEAD" - (required as string type)
• "2019-11-16" - (required as date type)
• "FALSE" - (required as boolean type)
• 12.56 - (required as double type)

the value comes into my function as a string like this (PropVal is the value)

Sub Test(ByRef PropName As String, ByRef PropVal As String)

So, Depending on the typical value as shown above, what would be a good way of converting PropVal based on the content of the String by either using CTYPE or any other method?


Thanks
