TypeConverter.ConvertToInvariantString Method (ITypeDescriptorContext, Object)

.NET Framework 4.5

Converts the specified value to a culture-invariant string representation, using the specified context.

Namespace: System.ComponentModel
Assembly: System (in System.dll)

public string ConvertToInvariantString(
	ITypeDescriptorContext context,
	Object value
)

Parameters

context: Type: System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext
An ITypeDescriptorContext that provides a format context.

value: Type: System.Object
The Object to convert.

Return Value

Type: System.String
A String that represents the converted value.

Remarks

Use the context parameter to extract additional information about the environment from which this converter is invoked. This parameter can be null, so always check it. Also, properties on the context object can return null.

Depending on the implementation of the value formatter, it might be possible to pass the returned string back into the value formatter to re-create an instance of the object.
