Public Overrides Function ConvertFrom (context As ITypeDescriptorContext, culture As CultureInfo, value As Object) As Object

Parameters

ITypeDescriptorContext

An ITypeDescriptorContext object that represents the data-bound component or the control that the property belongs to.

culture
CultureInfo

A CultureInfo that can be used to provide additional culture information.

value
Object

The object to convert from.

Returns

A string containing the converted object.

Exceptions

Remarks

Note
