Remarks
DataFieldConverter can retrieve a list of data fields from the current data source of a design-time component.
This type converter is used by Visual Studio .NET to provide the values that appear in the list of data fields in the Properties window.
CAUTION You should never access a type converter directly. Instead, call the appropriate converter by using TypeDescriptor. For more information, see the examples in the TypeConverter base class.
For more information about type converters, see the TypeConverter base class and Implementing a Type Converter.

[TypeConverterAttribute(typeof(DataMemberConverter))] public string dataField { get { return field; } set { field = value; } } private string field; [C++] // Associates the DataFieldConverter with a String* property. public: [TypeConverterAttribute(__typeof(DataMemberConverter))] __property String* get_dataField() { return field; } __property void set_dataField(String* value) { field = value; } private: String* field;
