	Type^ sourceType
) override

Parameters

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
