Parameters

setting  String

Configuration setting value that can be prefixed with a type.

Return Value

Type name is parsed from the beginning of the setting value, if it exists, and is enclosed in brackets, e.g.: [int]:123 or [System.Int32]:123. If no type name is specified, the assumed default type will always be String.

Common C# names like long and DateTime can be used as type names as well as custom type names. Custom type names require the full type name with a namespace, e.g.: [MyNamespace.MyType]:TypeValue. Type name lookups are not case-sensitive.
