Creates an instance of the type that this TypeConverter is associated with, using the specified context, given a set of property values for the object.
Public Overridable Function CreateInstance ( _ context As ITypeDescriptorContext, _ propertyValues As IDictionary _ ) As Object
Dim instance As TypeConverter Dim context As ITypeDescriptorContext Dim propertyValues As IDictionary Dim returnValue As Object returnValue = instance.CreateInstance(context, _ propertyValues)
public virtual Object CreateInstance( ITypeDescriptorContext context, IDictionary propertyValues )
public: virtual Object^ CreateInstance( ITypeDescriptorContext^ context, IDictionary^ propertyValues )
public function CreateInstance( context : ITypeDescriptorContext, propertyValues : IDictionary ) : Object
Use this method for objects that are immutable, but for which you want to provide changeable properties.
Override this method if the type you want to convert must re-create the object to change its value.
Use the context parameter to extract additional information about the environment from which this converter is invoked. This parameter can be nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), so always check it. Also, properties on the context object can return nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
The dictionary provided by the propertyValues parameter has a series of name/value pairs, one for each property returned from GetProperties.
