Remarks
This method is prototyped as virtual and, by default, returns an empty descriptor if no parent provider was passed. If a parent provider was passed, this method will invoke the parent provider's GetTypeDescriptor method.
Notes to Inheritors
The GetTypeDescriptor(Type, Object) method should return a custom type descriptor for the object. If the method does not provide type information for the object, it should return null.
