TypeConverter::SimplePropertyDescriptor::ShouldSerializeValue Method (Object^)

.NET Framework (current version)
 

Returns whether the value of this property can persist.

Namespace:   System.ComponentModel
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)

C#
C++
F#
VB
Copy 
public:
virtual bool ShouldSerializeValue(
	Object^ component
) override

Parameters

component
Type: System::Object^

The component with the property that is to be examined for persistence.

Return Value

Type: System::Boolean

true if the value of the property can persist; otherwise, false.

As implemented in this class, this method returns false.

Notes to Inheritors:

When overridden in a derived class, this method returns true if the current value of the property is different from its default value. It looks for a default value by first looking for a DefaultValueAttribute. If the method finds this attribute, it compares the value of the attribute with the current value of the property. If this method cannot find a DefaultValueAttribute, it looks for a ShouldSerializeMyProperty method. If this method finds a ShouldSerializeMyProperty method, it invokes it. If this method cannot find a DefaultValueAttribute or a ShouldSerializeMyProperty method, it cannot create optimizations and it returns true.
