This method locates an appropriate type converter by looking for a TypeConverterAttribute. If it cannot find a TypeConverterAttribute, it traverses the base class hierarchy of the class until it finds a primitive type.
This method is equivalent to the overloaded GetConverter method with a second parameter of false.
For an example of using this method, see the TypeConverter class.
