### Implicit Conversions ###
For convenience, implicit conversion operators also exist between an `eina.Value` and the actual stored type, so operations like these are possible:
```csharp
eina.Value int_val = 123;
eina.Value str_val = "My string";
int i = int_val;
string str = str_val;
```
These conversions allow directly providing native values to EFL methods expecting an `eina.Value`, for example.
> **NOTE:**
> As with all implicit conversions, use with caution to make sure the compiler is actually choosing the types you expect.
## Aggregate Values ##
`eina.Value` supports handling collections of simple values through the aggregate types `eina.ValueType.Array`, `eina.ValueType.List` and: `eina.ValueType.Hash`.
`eina.Value` supports handling collections of simple values through the aggregate types `eina.ValueType.Array`, `eina.ValueType.List` and `eina.ValueType.Hash`.
All aggregate types allow the operations for simple types described above as well as some specific methods, typically involving construction and access to particular elements within the collection.
