Converts the given value object to the specified type, using the specified context and culture information.
Public Overridable Function ConvertTo ( _ context As ITypeDescriptorContext, _ culture As CultureInfo, _ value As Object, _ destinationType As Type _ ) As Object
Dim instance As TypeConverter Dim context As ITypeDescriptorContext Dim culture As CultureInfo Dim value As Object Dim destinationType As Type Dim returnValue As Object returnValue = instance.ConvertTo(context, _ culture, value, destinationType)
public virtual Object ConvertTo( ITypeDescriptorContext context, CultureInfo culture, Object value, Type destinationType )
public: virtual Object^ ConvertTo( ITypeDescriptorContext^ context, CultureInfo^ culture, Object^ value, Type^ destinationType )
public function ConvertTo( context : ITypeDescriptorContext, culture : CultureInfo, value : Object, destinationType : Type ) : Object
The destinationType parameter is nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
The conversion cannot be performed.
The most common types to convert are to and from a string object. This implementation calls ToString on the object if the object is valid and if the destination type is a string.
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).
Override this method to provide your own conversion requirements.
