Methods

	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)	Determines whether an object can be converted from a given type to an instance of a Point. (Overrides TypeConverter..::.CanConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext, Type).)
	CanConvertTo(Type)	Returns whether this converter can convert the object to the specified type. (Inherited from TypeConverter.)
	CanConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext, Type)	Determines whether an instance of a Point can be converted to a different type. (Overrides TypeConverter..::.CanConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext, Type).)
	ConvertFrom(Object)	Converts the given value to the type of this converter. (Inherited from TypeConverter.)
	ConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext, CultureInfo, Object)	Attempts to convert the specified object to a Point. (Overrides TypeConverter..::.ConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext, CultureInfo, Object).)
	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.)

	ConvertTo(Object, Type)	Converts the given value object to the specified type, using the arguments. (Inherited from TypeConverter.)
	ConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext, CultureInfo, Object, Type)	Attempts to convert a Point to a specified type. (Overrides TypeConverter..::.ConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext, CultureInfo, Object, Type).)
	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(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.)

Remarks

Examples

The following code example uses a PointConverter to convert a string into a Point.

private Point pointConverterExample()
{
    PointConverter pConverter = new PointConverter();
    Point pointResult = new Point();
    string string1 = "10,20";

    // pointResult is equal to (10, 20)
    pointResult = (Point)pConverter.ConvertFromString(string1);

    return pointResult;

}
