public:
virtual bool CanConvertFrom(
	ITypeDescriptorContext^ context,
	Type^ sourceType
) override

Parameters

context
Type: System.ComponentModel::ITypeDescriptorContext^

An object implementing the ITypeDescriptorContext that provides information about a context to a type converter so that the type converter can perform a conversion.

sourceType
Type: System::Type^

The Type of the object for which conversion is being requested.

Return Value

Type: System::Boolean

true if sourceType is a string; otherwise, false.

The ConvertFrom method can only convert from a string, so the CanConvertFrom only returns true when sourcetype is a string.

The CanConvertFrom does not use the context parameter.
