Public Overrides Function ConvertTo (context As ITypeDescriptorContext, culture As CultureInfo, value As Object, destinationType As Type) As Object
Parameters
- context
- ITypeDescriptorContext
A formatter context. This object can be used to get additional information about the environment this converter is being called from. This may be null
, so you should always check. Also, properties on the context object may also return null
.
- culture
- CultureInfo
An object that contains culture specific information, such as the language, calendar, and cultural conventions associated with a specific culture. It is based on the RFC 1766 standard.
- value
- Object
The object to convert.
- destinationType
- Type
The type to convert the object to.
Returns
The converted object.
Exceptions
The conversion cannot be completed.
Remarks
The most common types to convert are to and from a string object. The default implementation calls the object's ToString method if the object is valid and if the destination type is string. If this method cannot convert to the destination type, this will throw a NotSupportedException exception.
