Remarks

A type converter is used to convert values between data types. A type converter also supports property configuration at design time by providing text-to-value conversion or a list of values that users can select from. Access the ImageFormatConverter class through the TypeDescriptor class by calling the GetConverter method.

The ImageFormatConverter converts to and from known image formats, as specified in the ImageFormat class.

Note

If you want to convert between image formats, such as converting between BMP and JPEG, use one of the Image.Save methods that takes an ImageFormat object as a parameter.
