Exception typeCondition

ConfigurationErrorsException

Calling GetType on data returns a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

This implementation of ConvertFrom casts data as a string and then calls the GetType method on it. The result, a new Type, is then returned. However, if the result is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), an exception will be thrown.
