|
| ConvertToInvariantString(ITypeDescriptorContext, Object) | Converts the specified value to a culture-invariant string representation, using the specified context. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
|

|
| ConvertToString(ITypeDescriptorContext, Object) | Converts the given value to a string representation, using the given context. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
|
| ConvertToString(ITypeDescriptorContext, CultureInfo, Object) | Converts the given value to a string representation, using the specified context and culture information. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
|
| CreateInstance(IDictionary) | Re-creates an Object given a set of property values for the object. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
|
| CreateInstance(ITypeDescriptorContext, IDictionary) | 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. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
|
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
.gif) | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |

|
| GetConvertToException | Returns an exception to throw when a conversion cannot be performed. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
|

|
| GetCreateInstanceSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext) | Returns whether changing a value on this object requires a call to CreateInstance to create a new value, using the specified context. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
|

Remarks
This converter can only convert to a string. It works as a pass through for other converters that want to convert an object to a string.

|---|
You should never create an instance of StringConverter. Instead, call the GetConverter method of TypeDescriptor. For more information, see the examples in the TypeConverter base class. |

The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this type or member has the following Resources property value: SharedState. The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser). For more information, see the HostProtectionAttribute class or SQL Server Programming and Host Protection Attributes. |
