TypeConverter::CanConvertTo Method (ITypeDescriptorContext, Type)
Returns whether this converter can convert the object to the specified type, using the specified context.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
public: virtual bool CanConvertTo( ITypeDescriptorContext^ context, Type^ destinationType )
Parameters
- context
- Type: System.ComponentModel::ITypeDescriptorContext
An ITypeDescriptorContext that provides a format context.
- destinationType
- Type: System::Type
A Type that represents the type you want to convert to.
Return Value
Type: System::Booleantrue if this converter can perform the conversion; otherwise, false.
Use the context parameter to extract additional information about the environment from which this converter is invoked. This parameter can be nullptr, so always check it. Also, properties on the context object can return nullptr.
If destinationType is a string, the default implementation of CanConvertTo always returns true.
