System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
System.Collections.IComparer
Most commonly, the type converter is used to convert instances to and from their corresponding localized representations.
Provides a to convert objects to and from other representations.
Constructor
This is the default, compiler-supplied constructor for the class.
Typically, you do not directly create an instance of a . Instead, call the method of class. For more information, see the examples in the base class.
Initializes an instance of the class.

Method
System.Boolean
The method is specialized to return true if the parameter is of type or array; otherwise, it defers evaluation to the base implementation of this method.
Returns a value indicating whether this converter can convert an object in the specified source type to the native type of the converter using the specified context.
true if the conversion can be performed; otherwise, false.
An that provides a format context, which can be used to extract additional information about the environment this converter is being invoked from. This parameter or properties of this parameter can be null.
The to convert from.

Method
System.Object
The method is specialized to convert objects of type or array. In this case, it will return an object of type . Otherwise, it defers evaluation to the base implementation of this method.
Converts the specified object to the converter's native type.
An object that represents the converted .
An ITypeDescriptorContext that provides a format context, which can be used to extract additional information about the environment this converter is being invoked from. This parameter or properties of this parameter can be null.
A CultureInfo object to provide locale information.
The object to convert.

Converts the specified object to the specified destination type.
An that represents the converted .

Method
System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter+StandardValuesCollection
The collection returned contains the values of the keys that can be converted.
Returns a collection of standard values for the data type that this type converter is designed for when provided with a format context.
A that holds a standard set of valid values, which can be empty if the data type does not support a standard set of values.
An that provides a format context, which can be used to extract additional information about the environment this converter is being invoked from. This parameter or properties of this parameter can be null.

Method
System.Boolean
The parameter is not used in the standard implementation of this method.
If the list is exclusive, then no other values are valid, such as in an data type. If the list is not exclusive, then there are other valid values besides the list of standard values provides.
Determines if the list of standard values returned from GetStandardValues is an exclusive list using the specified .
true if the collection returned from is an exhaustive list of possible values; otherwise, false if other values are possible. The default implementation for this method always returns false.
A formatter context. This object can be used to extract additional information about the environment this converter is being invoked from. This may be null, so you should always check. Also, properties on the context object may also return null.

Method
System.Boolean
The parameter is not used in the standard implementation of this method.
Gets a value indicating whether this object supports a standard set of values that can be picked from a list.
Always returns true.
An that provides a format context, which can be used to extract additional information about the environment this converter is being invoked from. This parameter or properties of this parameter can be null.
