- context
- ITypeDescriptorContext
An ITypeDescriptorContext that provides a format context, which can be used to extract additional information about the environment this converter is being invoked from. This parameter or properties of this parameter can be null.
Returns
true if the conversion can be performed; otherwise, false.
Remarks
The CanConvertFrom method is specialized to return true if the sourceType parameter is of type String or Enum array; otherwise, it defers evaluation to the base implementation of this method.
Notes to Inheritors
Override this method to provide your own conversion requirements.
The context can be used to extract additional information about the environment this converter is being invoked from. This may be null, so you should always check. Also, properties on the context object may also return null.
