Hello.
Would be very grateful if you help me. I have class named config that have private string variable named param.

I need to get from config class param variable sometimes as int type sometimes as bool type or string.

As I understand I need create 3 properties in config class,each property have to convert type, as follow:

the first property converts string to int, the second converts string to bool, the third property gets me the string value.

The class should look something like this.

C#

class Config
{
    private string param; 

    public int
    {
       get 
      { 
        return int.parse(param); 
      }
    }

    public bool
    {
       get 
      { 
        return bool.tryparse(param); 
      }
    }

   public string
    {
       get 
      { 
         return param; 
      }
    }
}

But I dont know how can those properties be used in accordance to the variable type that I want to get out of class.

I hope you can help me!! Thank you in advance!

Why you are using single variable. It will make you tightly coupled.

Because the class initialized with one value from DB.:)

Even if the request is a kind of strange, this should be the solution (even if it is conceptually wrong):

C#

public class Config
{
    private string param;

    public bool MyBool
    {
        get { return bool.Parse(param); }
    }

    public int MyInt
    {
        get { return int.Parse(param); }
    }

    public string My
    {
        get { return param; }
    }
}

Then use it simply as:

C#

Config c = new Config();

int i = c.MyInt;

Cheers
