ImageFormatConverter Class

Definition

Namespace:

System.Drawing

Assembly:

System.Drawing.Common.dll

ImageFormatConverter is a class that can be used to convert ImageFormat objects from one data type to another. Access this class through the TypeDescriptor object.

Remarks

A type converter is used to convert values between data types. A type converter also supports property configuration at design time by providing text-to-value conversion or a list of values that users can select from. Access the ImageFormatConverter class through the TypeDescriptor class by calling the GetConverter method.

The ImageFormatConverter converts to and from known image formats, as specified in the ImageFormat class.

Note

If you want to convert between image formats, such as converting between BMP and JPEG, use one of the Image.Save methods that takes an ImageFormat object as a parameter.

Constructors

ImageFormatConverter()

Initializes a new instance of the ImageFormatConverter class.

Methods

CanConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext, Type)	Indicates whether this converter can convert an object in the specified source type to the native type of the converter.
CanConvertFrom(Type)	Returns whether this converter can convert an object of the given type to the type of this converter. (Inherited from TypeConverter)

GetConvertToException(Object, Type)	Returns an exception to throw when a conversion cannot be performed. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
GetCreateInstanceSupported()	Returns whether changing a value on this object requires a call to the CreateInstance(IDictionary) method to create a new value. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
GetCreateInstanceSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext)	Returns whether changing a value on this object requires a call to CreateInstance(IDictionary) to create a new value, using the specified context. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetProperties(ITypeDescriptorContext, Object, Attribute[])	Returns a collection of properties for the type of array specified by the value parameter, using the specified context and attributes. (Inherited from TypeConverter)

GetStandardValues()	Returns a collection of standard values from the default context for the data type this type converter is designed for. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
GetStandardValues(ITypeDescriptorContext)	Gets a collection that contains a set of standard values for the data type this validator is designed for. Returns null if the data type does not support a standard set of values.
GetStandardValuesExclusive()	Returns whether the collection of standard values returned from GetStandardValues() is an exclusive list. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
