Public Overrides Function ConvertTo (context As ITypeDescriptorContext, culture As CultureInfo, value As Object, destinationType As Type) As Object

Parameters

context
ITypeDescriptorContext

A formatter context. This object can be used to get additional information about the environment this converter is being called from. This may be null, so you should always check. Also, properties on the context object may also return null.

culture
CultureInfo

A CultureInfo object that specifies the culture used to represent the object.

value
Object

The object to convert.

destinationType
Type

The data type to convert the object to.

Returns

The converted object.

Exceptions

The conversion was not successful.

Remarks

The most common type conversion is to and from a string type. The default implementation calls the ToString method of the object if the object is valid and if the destination type is string.
