	Type sourceType
)

Parameters

context

An ITypeDescriptorContext that can be used to gain additional context information.

sourceType

A Type that represents the type you want to convert from.

Return Value

true if the converter can perform the conversion; otherwise, false. As implemented in this class, this method always returns false.

Notes to Inheritors Override this method to provide your own conversion requirements. The context can be used to extract additional information about the environment this converter is being invoked from. This may be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), so you should always check. Also, properties on the context object may also return a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
