ConfigurationConverterBase.CanConvertFrom Method

public:
 override bool CanConvertFrom(System::ComponentModel::ITypeDescriptorContext ^ ctx, Type ^ type);

public override bool CanConvertFrom (System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext ctx, Type type);

override this.CanConvertFrom : System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext * Type -> bool

Public Overrides Function CanConvertFrom (ctx As ITypeDescriptorContext, type As Type) As Boolean

Parameters

Returns

true if the conversion is allowed; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following example code shows how to override the CanConvertFrom method to create a custom TimeSpan converter type. Also, the example shows how to use this type in a custom section.

public override bool CanConvertFrom(
    ITypeDescriptorContext ctx, Type type)
{
    return (type == typeof(string));
}

Public Overrides Function CanConvertFrom( _
ByVal ctx As ITypeDescriptorContext, _
ByVal type As Type) As Boolean
    Return (type.ToString() = GetType(String).ToString())

End Function 'CanConvertFrom

Remarks

The CanConvertFrom method determines whether a conversion can be performed on strongly typed properties to obtain value strings used in the configuration file.
