Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Converter<TInput, TOutput>	converter	The converted delegate.

Returns

Type	Description
Func<TInput, TOutput>	A delegate of type Func<T, TResult> referencing the same method as original delegate.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
TInput	The type of input argument.
TOutput	Return type of the function.

AsPredicate<T>(Converter<T, bool>)

Converts Converter<TInput, TOutput> into predicate.

Declaration

public static Predicate<T> AsPredicate<T>(this Converter<T, bool> converter)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Converter<T, bool>	converter	A delegate to convert.

Returns

Type	Description
Predicate<T>	A delegate of type Predicate<T> referencing the same method as original delegate.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	Type of predicate argument.

Identity<T>()

The converter which returns input argument without any modifications.

Declaration

public static Converter<T, T> Identity<T>()

Returns

Type	Description
Converter<T, T>	The identity function.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The type of input and output.

Remarks

This method returns the same instance of predicate on every call.

Identity<TInput, TOutput>()

The converter which returns input argument without any modifications.

Declaration

public static Converter<TInput, TOutput> Identity<TInput, TOutput>() where TInput : TOutput

Returns
