Override this method to provide your own conversion requirements.

You can use the context parameter to extract additional information about the environment this converter is being invoked from. The parameter may be null, so you should always verify the contents. Also, properties on the ITypeDescriptorContext may also return null.

The resultant object is a String representing the percentage of opacity.
