.NET Framework Class Library

EnumConverter..::.CanConvertTo Method (ITypeDescriptorContext, Type)

Gets a value indicating whether this converter can convert an object to the given destination type using the context.

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

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Public Overrides Function CanConvertTo ( _
    context As ITypeDescriptorContext, _
    destinationType As Type _
) As Boolean

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As EnumConverter
Dim context As ITypeDescriptorContext
Dim destinationType As Type
Dim returnValue As Boolean

returnValue = instance.CanConvertTo(context, _
    destinationType)

public override bool CanConvertTo(
    ITypeDescriptorContext context,
    Type destinationType
)

Visual C++

public:
virtual bool CanConvertTo(
    ITypeDescriptorContext^ context, 
    Type^ destinationType
) override

JScript

public override function CanConvertTo(
    context : ITypeDescriptorContext, 
    destinationType : Type
) : boolean

Parameters

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

destinationType: Type: System..::.Type
A Type that represents the type you wish to convert to.

Return Value

Type: System..::.Boolean
true if this converter can perform the conversion; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The context parameter can be used to extract additional information about the environment this converter is being invoked from. This can be nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), so always check. Also, properties on the context object can return nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Notes to Inheritors:

Override this method to provide your own conversion requirements.
