public:
 override System::Object ^ ConvertTo(System::ComponentModel::ITypeDescriptorContext ^ context, System::Globalization::CultureInfo ^ culture, System::Object ^ value, Type ^ destinationType);
public override object ConvertTo (System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext context, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture, object value, Type destinationType);
override this.ConvertTo : System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext * System.Globalization.CultureInfo * obj * Type -> obj
Public Overrides Function ConvertTo (context As ITypeDescriptorContext, culture As CultureInfo, value As Object, destinationType As Type) As Object

Parameters

context
ITypeDescriptorContext

A ITypeDescriptorContext object that provides information about the context of a type converter. This parameter is not used in this method. It is reserved for future versions of this method. You can optionally pass in null for this parameter.

culture
CultureInfo

A CultureInfo object that represents information about a culture such as language, calendar system, and so on. This parameter is not used in this method. It is reserved for future versions of this method. You can optionally pass in null for this parameter.

value
Object

An object that represents the source array of strings to convert from.

destinationType
Type

A Object instance object that represents the data type to convert to. This parameter must be of type String.

Returns

A Object instance that represents a string containing a list of font names.

Exceptions

destinationType is not of type String.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the ConvertTo method to convert an array of strings containing the individual names to a single string that contains a list of font names.

Remarks

Use the ConvertTo method to convert an array of strings containing the individual font names to a single string containing a list of the names. For example, an array that contains the strings "arial", "times new roman", and "verdana" converts to the string "arial,times new roman,verdana". Notice that commas are automatically inserted between the font names without any white space.

Note

This converter can convert only to a string data type. The destinationType parameter must be of type String.

Note

The context and culture parameters are not used in this version of the method; they are reserved for future versions of the method. You can optionally pass in null for these parameters.
