The following code example illustrates how to use a type converter that participates in code generation through the use of instance descriptors.

Remarks
InstanceDescriptor can store information that describes an instance of an object. This information can be used to create an instance of the object.
Some custom serializers use InstanceDescriptor to represent serializable objects. Several methods of a TypeDescriptor use InstanceDescriptor to represent or instantiate objects.
An InstanceDescriptor provides the following members:
A MemberInfo property that describes this object.
An Arguments property that consists of the constructor arguments that can be used to instantiate this object.
A Boolean IsComplete property that indicates whether the object is completely represented by the current information.
An Invoke method that can be used to create an instance of the represented object.
Constructors
| InstanceDescriptor(MemberInfo, ICollection, Boolean) |
Initializes a new instance of the InstanceDescriptor class using the specified member information, arguments, and value indicating whether the specified information completely describes the instance. |
| InstanceDescriptor(MemberInfo, ICollection) |
Initializes a new instance of the InstanceDescriptor class using the specified member information and arguments. |
Properties
| Arguments |
Gets the collection of arguments that can be used to reconstruct an instance of the object that this instance descriptor represents. |
| IsComplete |
Gets a value indicating whether the contents of this InstanceDescriptor completely identify the instance. |
| MemberInfo |
Gets the member information that describes the instance this descriptor is associated with. |
Methods
| Equals(Object) |
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object) |
| GetHashCode() |
Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object) |
| GetType() |
Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object) |
| Invoke() |
Invokes this instance descriptor and returns the object the descriptor describes. |
| MemberwiseClone() |
Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object) |
| ToString() |
Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object) |
