Class ErrorMessagesInColorConverter

Although its scope is public, the only practical use for this class is to facilitate storage of default or user specified ErrorMessagesInColor values in application settings files. That being the case, I put it at the end of the source file that defines that class.

Inheritance

System.Object

ErrorMessagesInColorConverter

Namespace: WizardWrx.ConsoleStreams

Assembly: WizardWrx.ConsoleStreams.dll

Syntax

public class ErrorMessagesInColorConverter : TypeConverter

Methods

CanConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext, Type)

Return True if inputs of the specified type can be converted.

Declaration

public override bool CanConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext pIContext, Type ptypSourceType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ITypeDescriptorContext	pIContext	This argument provides internal details about the type. Treat it as a black box.
Type	ptypSourceType	This argument specifies the System.Type to be evaluated. Treat it as a black box.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	This method returns TRUE if ptypSourceType is typeof ( string ). Any other type returns FALSE.

Remarks

This method and its companions ConvertFrom and ConvertTo are delegates, which the runtime engine calls as needed. Hence, the arguments described above as black boxes are required, although this implementation ignores them, since it processes string representations of the System.Console.ConsoleColors enumerated type.

ConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext, System.Globalization.CultureInfo, Object)

Convert from string (the only supported source type) to ErrorMessagesInColor.

Declaration

public override object ConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext pIContext, System.Globalization.CultureInfo pCulture, object pobjValue)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ITypeDescriptorContext	pIContext	This argument provides internal details about the type. Treat it as a black box.
System.Globalization.CultureInfo	pCulture	This argument supplies a reference to the current CultureInfo object that drives many aspects of text and numeric conversions. Treat it as a black box.
System.Object	pobjValue	Specify the source object to be converted. Although the method signature requires this argument to be cast to Object, the only type supported is System.string. In any event, treat it as a black box.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Object	Although specified as object to meet the requirements of the base class, the return value is expected to be an ErrorMessagesInColor object.

Remarks

This method and its companions CanConvertFrom and ConvertTo are delegates, which the runtime engine calls as needed. Hence, the arguments described above as black boxes are required, although this implementation ignores them, since it processes string representations of the System.Console.ConsoleColors enumerated type.

ConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext, System.Globalization.CultureInfo, Object, Type)

Given an ErrorMessagesInColor object, return a string representation that is suitable for storage in a standard application settings file.

Declaration

public override object ConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext pIContext, System.Globalization.CultureInfo pCulture, object pobjValue, Type pDestType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ITypeDescriptorContext	pIContext	This argument provides internal details about the type. Treat it as a black box.
System.Globalization.CultureInfo	pCulture	This argument supplies a reference to the current CultureInfo object that drives many aspects of text and numeric conversions. Treat it as a black box.
System.Object	pobjValue	Although the method signature calls for an generic System.Object, this argument must actually be an ErrorMessagesInColor object.
Type	pDestType	The only valid value for this argument is typeof ( string ). The specification type is dictated by the signature of the ConvertTo method in the base class.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Object	Although specified as object to meet the requirements of the base class, the return value is expected to be a System.string.

Remarks

This method and its companions CanConvertFrom and ConvertFrom are delegates, which the runtime engine calls as needed.
