This function makes use of a TypeConverter to convert value
to the specified type, the best way to make sure value
can be converted back to its original type is to use the same TypeConverter to
convert the original object to a String; see the
TypeConvertToString(Object) method for an easy way to do this.
This function varies from ConvertToTypeT(String) in that it
will use the default value for the type parameter if value
is empty or null.
