LinkArea.LinkAreaConverter.ConvertTo Method

Definition

Converts the given object to another type. The most common types to convert are to and from a string object. The default implementation will make a call to ToString() on the object if the object is valid and if the destination type is string. If this cannot convert to the destination type, this will throw a NotSupportedException.

public override object ConvertTo (System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext context, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture, object value, Type destinationType);
public override object? ConvertTo (System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext? context, System.Globalization.CultureInfo? culture, object? value, Type destinationType);
