DataSourceIDConverter::CanConvertFrom Method (ITypeDescriptorContext, Type)

Gets a value indicating whether this converter can convert an object in the specified source type to the native type of the converter.

Namespace:  System.Web.UI.Design.WebControls
Assembly:  System.Design (in System.Design.dll)

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.
