More integer magic.

[Brady Kelly]

Using PropertyInfo.SetValue(), one can attempt to assign null to an integer
without an exception. The integer is assigned a value of zero.

I don't think this has anything to do with integers. I'm guessing SetValue()
simply assigns default(T) if the assigned value is invalid.

I would prefer it attempted to cast and assign the invalid value, causing a
NullReference exception or some or other exception, so I know there is a
problem.

From a really quick glance at the documentation (try it, you'll like it) I

think you need to supply a non-default Binder to the SetValue operation for
that, since the default binder obviously fails silently.

The built-in help viewer in Visual Studio? I haven't used that in a long
time. I always search for keywords online using Google, along the lines of
"binder site:msdn2.microsoft.com -inurl:vs(" (in your case). It's faster and
much more predictable. Just setup a search keyword (or the non-Firefox
equivalent) in the browser and any search is just a few keypresses away.

Thanks, I'll have a look at that. I normally just use straight Google, i.e.
"binder", but have to sift through some noise.
