- 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
A CultureInfo object that specifies the culture used to represent the object.
- value
- Object
The object to convert.
- destinationType
- Type
The data type to convert the object to.
Returns
The converted object.
Exceptions
The conversion was not successful.
Remarks
The most common type conversion is to and from a string type. The default implementation calls the ToString method of the object if the object is valid and if the destination type is string.
