Definition

Creates an instance of this type given a set of property values for the object.

public:
 override System::Object ^ CreateInstance(System::ComponentModel::ITypeDescriptorContext ^ context, System::Collections::IDictionary ^ propertyValues);
public override object CreateInstance (System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext context, System.Collections.IDictionary propertyValues);
public override object CreateInstance (System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext? context, System.Collections.IDictionary propertyValues);
override this.CreateInstance : System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext * System.Collections.IDictionary -> obj
Public Overrides Function CreateInstance (context As ITypeDescriptorContext, propertyValues As IDictionary) As Object

Parameters

context
ITypeDescriptorContext

A type descriptor through which additional context can be provided.

propertyValues
IDictionary

A dictionary of new property values. The dictionary contains a series of name-value pairs, one for each property returned from GetProperties(ITypeDescriptorContext, Object, Attribute[]).

Returns

The newly created object, or null if the object could not be created. The default implementation returns null.

Remarks

CreateInstance is useful for objects that are immutable but still want to provide changeable properties.
