This method is called by serializers when they attempt to create an instance of a type. The default implementation creates a new instance of the type, or it may return an existing instance depending on the values of the PreserveNames and RecycleInstances properties. The CreateInstance method uses reflection to create instances and will perform some generic IConvertible transformations on parameters to find a matching constructor.
