Value to convert to a String.

CultureInfo to use for the conversion.
throwOnFail  Boolean  (Optional)
Set to true to throw exception if conversion fails; otherwise, false to fall back on .ToString().

If TypeConverter fails, the value's ToString() value will be returned. Returned value will never be null, if no value exists an empty string ("") will be returned.

You can use the ConvertToTypeT(String, CultureInfo) string extension method or [!:TypeConvertFromString(string, Type, CultureInfo)] to convert the string back to its original Type.
