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 4, IValueSerializerContext is in the System.Xaml assembly. For more information, see Types Migrated from WPF to System.Xaml.
