member this.ConvertToString : System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext * System.Globalization.CultureInfo * obj -> string

Public Function ConvertToString (context As ITypeDescriptorContext, culture As CultureInfo, value As Object) As String

Parameters

An ITypeDescriptorContext that provides a format context.

culture

value

Object

The Object to convert.

Returns

String

An Object that represents the converted value.

Exceptions

NotSupportedException

Use the context parameter to extract additional information about the environment from which this converter is invoked. This parameter can be null, so always check it. Also, properties on the context object can return null.

Depending on the implementation of the value formatter, it might be possible to pass the returned string back into the value formatter to re-create an instance of the object.
