hi guys,

other type?

ConvertFromTO(object obj, System.Type typeSrc, System.Type typeDst);

What would you expect it to do if presented with, say, Random and
XmlDocument? Or WebRequest and Int32? Most conversions just don't make
sense. If they make sense, they should be supported by one or other of
the types (possibly using IConvertible).
 
And if they do make sense but don't exist, you can usually create a derived
class with an implicit or exlpicit conversion and implement the change
yourself.

Check ChangeType method of Convert class.
