Converts an object to a lowercase string based on the specified parameters.
public:
override System::Object ^ ConvertTo(System::ComponentModel::ITypeDescriptorContext ^ ctx, System::Globalization::CultureInfo ^ ci, System::Object ^ value, Type ^ type);public override object ConvertTo (System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext ctx, System.Globalization.CultureInfo ci, object value, Type type);override this.ConvertTo : System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext * System.Globalization.CultureInfo * obj * Type -> objPublic Overrides Function ConvertTo (ctx As ITypeDescriptorContext, ci As CultureInfo, value As Object, type As Type) As ObjectParameters
An object that implements the ITypeDescriptorContext interface.
- ci
- CultureInfo
An object that implements the CultureInfo class.
- value
- Object
The object to convert.
- type
- Type
The type of object to convert.
Returns
A lowercase string object.
Examples
The following example demonstrates how to use this method.
// ConvertTo method.
Console.WriteLine("Original Value: {0}",
testStrVal.ToString());
resultStrVal = myLCStrConverter.ConvertTo
(ctx,ci,testStrVal, testStrVal.GetType());
Console.WriteLine("ConvertTo result: {0}",
resultStrVal.ToString());
' ConvertTo method.
Console.WriteLine("Original Value: {0}", _
testStrVal.ToString())
resultStrVal = myLCStrConverter.ConvertTo _
(ctx, ci, testStrVal, testStrVal.GetType())
Console.WriteLine("ConvertTo result: {0}", _
resultStrVal.ToString())
Remarks
This method uses an object that implements the ITypeDescriptorContext interface as the ctx parameter. This interface provides contextual information about a component. Typically, this interface is used at design time to provide information about a design-time container. The ITypeDescriptorContext is commonly used in type conversion. The ci parameter object provides the culture-related information. The value object acts as both the object to convert and the resulting object once the method is complete. Override this method in a derived class if custom behavior is required.
