{

    long min = long.Parse((string)data,
        CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

    return TimeSpan.FromMinutes((double)min);
}

Public Overrides Function ConvertFrom( _
ByVal ctx As ITypeDescriptorContext, _
ByVal ci As CultureInfo, ByVal data As Object) As Object

    Dim min As Long = _
    Long.Parse(CStr(data), CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

    Return TimeSpan.FromMinutes(System.Convert.ToDouble(min))

End Function 'ConvertFrom
