IValueSerializerContext Interface
Defines a context that is provided to a ValueSerializer. The context can be used to enable special cases of serialization or different modes of serialization.
Assembly: System.Xaml (in System.Xaml.dll)
The IValueSerializerContext type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Container | Gets the container representing this TypeDescriptor request. (Inherited from ITypeDescriptorContext.) |
![]() | Instance | Gets the object that is connected with this type descriptor request. (Inherited from ITypeDescriptorContext.) |
![]() | PropertyDescriptor | Gets the PropertyDescriptor that is associated with the given context item. (Inherited from ITypeDescriptorContext.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | GetService | Gets the service object of the specified type. (Inherited from IServiceProvider.) |
![]() | GetValueSerializerFor(PropertyDescriptor) | Gets a ValueSerializer for the given property descriptor. |
![]() | GetValueSerializerFor(Type) | Gets the ValueSerializer associated with the specified type. |
![]() | OnComponentChanged | Raises the ComponentChanged event. (Inherited from ITypeDescriptorContext.) |
![]() | OnComponentChanging | Raises the ComponentChanging event. (Inherited from ITypeDescriptorContext.) |
The IValueSerializerContext interface is a specialized form of the ITypeDescriptorContext context, and is used as one of the input parameters for Convert*String / CanConvert*String methods of a value serializer in the same way as ITypeDescriptorContext is used for context of Convert* / CanConvert* for a TypeConverter.
Public types in WPF that implement a ValueSerializer and thus use IValueSerializerContext for context are found in the System.Windows.Converters and System.Windows.Media.Converters namespaces.
In previous versions of the .NET Framework, this interface existed in the WPF-specific assembly WindowsBase. In .NET Framework version 4, IValueSerializerContext is in the System.Xaml assembly. For more information, see Types Migrated from WPF to System.Xaml.
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
