Namespace:  System.Web.UI.Design.MobileControls.Converters
Assembly:  System.Web.Mobile (in System.Web.Mobile.dll)

public:
virtual bool CanConvertFrom(
	ITypeDescriptorContext^ context, 
	Type^ sourceType
) override

Parameters

context
Type: System.ComponentModel::ITypeDescriptorContext
An ITypeDescriptorContext that represents the data-bound component or the control that the property belongs to.
sourceType
Type: System::Type
The type to convert from.

Return Value
