ListViewItemConverter.CanConvertTo Method (ITypeDescriptorContext, Type)

This member overrides TypeConverter.CanConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext, Type), and more complete documentation might be available in that topic.

Gets a value indicating whether this converter can convert an object to the given destination type using the context.

Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)

)

Parameters

context: Type: System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext
An ITypeDescriptorContext that provides a format context.

destinationType: Type: System.Type
A Type that represents the type you wish to convert to.

Return Value
