Type expected)
{
bool result;
if ((value != null) &&
(value.GetType() != expected))

return result;
}
public override bool CanConvertTo(
ITypeDescriptorContext ctx, Type type)
{
return (type == typeof(string));

ITypeDescriptorContext ctx, CultureInfo ci,
object value, Type type)
{

long data = (long)(((TimeSpan)value).TotalMinutes);
return data.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
}
public override object ConvertFrom(
ITypeDescriptorContext ctx, CultureInfo ci, object data)
{
long min = long.Parse((string)data,
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Remarks
This type, like all the other configuration converter types, converts strings found in the configuration file to and from the related strongly typed properties.
In particular, the TimeSpanMinutesConverter converts String minutes, assigned to a configuration property, to TimeSpan minutes and vice versa.
The TimeSpanMinutesConverter persists values of type long representing a number of minutes.
