Defines a context that is provided to a ValueSerializer. The context can be used to enable special cases of serialization or different modes of serialization.

public interface class IValueSerializerContext : IServiceProvider, System::ComponentModel::ITypeDescriptorContext

public interface IValueSerializerContext : IServiceProvider, System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext

type IValueSerializerContext = interface
    interface ITypeDescriptorContext
    interface IServiceProvider

Public Interface IValueSerializerContext
Implements IServiceProvider, ITypeDescriptorContext

Implements: ITypeDescriptorContext IServiceProvider

Remarks

The IValueSerializerContext interface is a specialized form of the ITypeDescriptorContext context, and is used as one of the input parameters for Convert*String / CanConvert*String methods of a value serializer in the same way as ITypeDescriptorContext is used for context of Convert* / CanConvert* for a TypeConverter.

Public types in WPF that implement a ValueSerializer and thus use IValueSerializerContext for context are found in the System.Windows.Converters and System.Windows.Media.Converters namespaces.

In previous versions of the .NET Framework, this interface existed in the WPF-specific assembly WindowsBase. In .NET Framework 4, IValueSerializerContext is in the System.Xaml assembly. For more information, see Types Migrated from WPF to System.Xaml.
