I was searching for a way to use my own custom types to be parsed from arguments.
For extended set of "primitive" types, Commandlineparser already uses System.ComponentModel based type conversion.
So I just added this same conversion as fallback when creating by string only constructor fails.
With this you can decorate class with
TypeConverterAttributeor register attribute programatically to type descriptorTypeDescriptor.AddAttributes(.., new TypeConverterAttribute(...)));and all other ways you can register conversion provider and you will get the custom types parsed from commandline attributes.
