Methods
CanConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext?, Type)
Returns whether this converter can convert an object of the given type to the type of this converter, using the specified context.
public override bool CanConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext? context, Type sourceType)
Parameters
contextITypeDescriptorContextAn ITypeDescriptorContext that provides a format context.
sourceTypeTypeA Type that represents the type you want to convert from.
Returns
ConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext?, CultureInfo?, object)
Converts the given object to the type of this converter, using the specified context and culture information.
public override object ConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext? context, CultureInfo? culture, object value)

- object
An object that represents the converted value.
Exceptions
- NotSupportedException
The conversion cannot be performed.
ConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext?, CultureInfo?, object?, Type)

public override object ConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext? context, CultureInfo? culture, object? value, Type destinationType)
Parameters
contextITypeDescriptorContextAn ITypeDescriptorContext that provides a format context.

destinationTypeTypeThe Type to convert the
valueparameter to.
Returns
- object

GetStandardValues(ITypeDescriptorContext?)
Returns a collection of standard values for the data type this type converter is designed for when provided with a format context.
public override TypeConverter.StandardValuesCollection GetStandardValues(ITypeDescriptorContext? context)
Parameters
contextITypeDescriptorContextAn ITypeDescriptorContext that provides a format context that can be used to extract additional information about the environment from which this converter is invoked. This parameter or properties of this parameter can be null.
Returns
- TypeConverter.StandardValuesCollection
A TypeConverter.StandardValuesCollection that holds a standard set of valid values, or null if the data type does not support a standard set of values.
GetStandardValuesExclusive(ITypeDescriptorContext?)
Returns whether the collection of standard values returned from GetStandardValues() is an exclusive list of possible values, using the specified context.
public override bool GetStandardValuesExclusive(ITypeDescriptorContext? context)
Parameters
contextITypeDescriptorContextAn ITypeDescriptorContext that provides a format context.
Returns
- bool
true if the TypeConverter.StandardValuesCollection returned from GetStandardValues() is an exhaustive list of possible values; false if other values are possible.
GetStandardValuesSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext?)
Returns whether this object supports a standard set of values that can be picked from a list, using the specified context.
public override bool GetStandardValuesSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext? context)
Parameters
contextITypeDescriptorContextAn ITypeDescriptorContext that provides a format context.
Returns
- bool
true if GetStandardValues() should be called to find a common set of values the object supports; otherwise, false.
