Generic IIF

Hello,
why is not IIF function generic? That is problem, because I can't use this for automatic conversion of our old expressions because of need of type casting...
Thank you...

Hello Lukas,

Can you explain this problem in more details?

Thank you.

Hello Jan,
your function IIF has object params and return type object, but we need this generic... it means, if we put string params, function has to return string value, not only object...
For example: 1.1 == IIF(1==1, 1.0, 2.1) will return exception, that operator '==' cannot be applied to operands of type 'double' and 'object'...
Yes, solution is to do casting, but that is not elegant and not friendly for automatic generation of expresions, is it?

Hello,

We added overloads for the IIF function for the same types for friendly automatic generation of expressions.
Please check the latest build when it will be available.

Thank you.
