This class implements GetPropertiesSupported and GetProperties by returning the properties through the GetProperties method of TypeDescriptor.
For more information about type converters, see the TypeConverter base class and How to: Implement a Type Converter.
Note |
|---|
You should never create an instance of ComponentConverter. Instead, call the GetConverter method of TypeDescriptor. For more information, see the examples in the TypeConverter base class. |
This converter converts an object that implements IComponent and displays its properties in the Properties window.
