Remarks

As implemented in this class, this method always returns false.

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).

Notes to Inheritors:

Override this method if the type you want to convert supports standard values.
