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

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

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.
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.

Returns

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

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

Given a MessageInColors 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.
System.Object	pobjValue	Although the method signature calls for an generic System.Object, this argument must actually be a MessageInColors 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.
