The ComponentConverter type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | CanConvertFrom(Type) | Returns whether this converter can convert an object of the given type to the type of this converter. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| CanConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext, Type) | Gets a value indicating whether this converter can convert an object in the given source type to a reference object using the specified context. (Inherited from ReferenceConverter.) |
| CanConvertTo(Type) | Returns whether this converter can convert the object to the specified type. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| CanConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext, Type) | Returns whether this converter can convert the object to the specified type, using the specified context. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| ConvertFrom(Object) | Converts the given value to the type of this converter. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| ConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext, CultureInfo, Object) | Converts the given object to the reference type. (Inherited from ReferenceConverter.) |
| ConvertFromInvariantString(String) | Converts the given string to the type of this converter, using the invariant culture. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| ConvertFromInvariantString(ITypeDescriptorContext, String) | Converts the given string to the type of this converter, using the invariant culture and the specified context. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| ConvertFromString(String) | Converts the specified text to an object. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| ConvertFromString(ITypeDescriptorContext, String) | Converts the given text to an object, using the specified context. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| ConvertFromString(ITypeDescriptorContext, CultureInfo, String) | Converts the given text to an object, using the specified context and culture information. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| ConvertTo(Object, Type) | Converts the given value object to the specified type, using the arguments. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| ConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext, CultureInfo, Object, Type) | Converts the given value object to the reference type using the specified context and arguments. (Inherited from ReferenceConverter.) |
| ConvertToInvariantString(Object) | Converts the specified value to a culture-invariant string representation. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| ConvertToInvariantString(ITypeDescriptorContext, Object) | Converts the specified value to a culture-invariant string representation, using the specified context. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| ConvertToString(Object) | Converts the specified value to a string representation. (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.) |
| Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetConvertFromException | Returns an exception to throw when a conversion cannot be performed. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| GetConvertToException | Returns an exception to throw when a conversion cannot be performed. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| GetCreateInstanceSupported() | Returns whether changing a value on this object requires a call to the CreateInstance method to create a new value. (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.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetProperties(Object) | Returns a collection of properties for the type of array specified by the value parameter. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| GetProperties(ITypeDescriptorContext, Object) | Returns a collection of properties for the type of array specified by the value parameter, using the specified context. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| GetProperties(ITypeDescriptorContext, Object, Attribute[]) | Gets a collection of properties for the type of component specified by the value parameter. (Overrides TypeConverter.GetProperties(ITypeDescriptorContext, Object, Attribute[]).) |
| GetPropertiesSupported() | Returns whether this object supports properties. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| GetPropertiesSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext) | Gets a value indicating whether this object supports properties using the specified context. (Overrides TypeConverter.GetPropertiesSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext).) |
| GetStandardValues() | Returns a collection of standard values from the default context for the data type this type converter is designed for. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| GetStandardValues(ITypeDescriptorContext) | Gets a collection of standard values for the reference data type. (Inherited from ReferenceConverter.) |
| GetStandardValuesExclusive() | Returns whether the collection of standard values returned from GetStandardValues is an exclusive list. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| GetStandardValuesExclusive(ITypeDescriptorContext) | Gets a value indicating whether the list of standard values returned from GetStandardValues is an exclusive list. (Inherited from ReferenceConverter.) |
| GetStandardValuesSupported() | Returns whether this object supports a standard set of values that can be picked from a list. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| GetStandardValuesSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext) | Gets a value indicating whether this object supports a standard set of values that can be picked from a list. (Inherited from ReferenceConverter.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| IsValid(Object) | Returns whether the given value object is valid for this type. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| IsValid(ITypeDescriptorContext, Object) | Returns whether the given value object is valid for this type and for the specified context. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| IsValueAllowed | Returns a value indicating whether a particular value can be added to the standard values collection. (Inherited from ReferenceConverter.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| SortProperties | Sorts a collection of properties. (Inherited from TypeConverter.) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
This class implements GetPropertiesSupported and GetProperties by returning the properties through the GetProperties method of TypeDescriptor.
For more information about type converters, see the TypeConverter base class and How to: Implement a Type Converter.
| Note |
|---|
You should never create an instance of ComponentConverter. Instead, call the GetConverter method of TypeDescriptor. For more information, see the examples in the TypeConverter base class. |
This converter converts an object that implements IComponent and displays its properties in the Properties window.

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. |
Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
