public boolean CanConvertFrom (
	ITypeDescriptorContext context, 
	Type sourceType
)
public override function CanConvertFrom (
	context : ITypeDescriptorContext, 
	sourceType : Type

Parameters

context

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

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

Return Value

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.
