Definition

public:
 override bool CanConvertFrom(System::ComponentModel::ITypeDescriptorContext ^ context, Type ^ sourceType);
public override bool CanConvertFrom (System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext context, Type sourceType);
override this.CanConvertFrom : System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext * Type -> bool
Public Overrides Function CanConvertFrom (context As ITypeDescriptorContext, sourceType As Type) As Boolean

Parameters

context
ITypeDescriptorContext

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

sourceType
Type

The type to convert from.

Returns

true if the sourceType is String; otherwise false.

Remarks

Note

You typically do not access a type converter directly. This implementation of TypeConverter is intended for use by a data bound control at design time, and instantiated with a TypeConverterAttribute on a property.
