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 -> obj

Public Overrides Function ConvertTo (ctx As ITypeDescriptorContext, ci As CultureInfo, value As Object, type As Type) As Object

Parameters

ctx: ITypeDescriptorContext

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

Object

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.
