Returns a type converter for a component or a type.
Overloads
| GetConverter(Type) |
Returns a type converter for the specified type. |

Returns a type converter for the specified type.

static member GetConverter : Type -> System.ComponentModel.TypeConverterstatic member GetConverter : Type -> System.ComponentModel.TypeConverterPublic Shared Function GetConverter (type As Type) As TypeConverterParameters
Returns
A TypeConverter for the specified type.
- Attributes
Exceptions
type is null.
Remarks
Call this version of this method only when you do not have an instance of the object.
This method looks for the appropriate type converter by looking for a TypeConverterAttribute. If it cannot find a TypeConverterAttribute, it traverses the base class hierarchy of the class until it finds a primitive type.

static member GetConverter : obj * bool -> System.ComponentModel.TypeConverterstatic member GetConverter : obj * bool -> System.ComponentModel.TypeConverterPublic Shared Function GetConverter (component As Object, noCustomTypeDesc As Boolean) As TypeConverterParameters
- component
- Object
A component to get the converter for.
- noCustomTypeDesc
- Boolean
true to not consider custom type description information; otherwise, false.
Returns
A TypeConverter for the specified component.
- Attributes
Exceptions
component is null.
component is a cross-process remoted object.
Remarks
This method looks for the appropriate type converter by trying to find a TypeConverterAttribute. If it cannot find a TypeConverterAttribute, it traverses the base class hierarchy of the class until it finds a primitive type.

Examples
For an example of using this method, see the TypeConverter class.
Remarks
This method locates an appropriate type converter by looking for a TypeConverterAttribute. If it cannot find a TypeConverterAttribute, it traverses the base class hierarchy of the class until it finds a primitive type.
This method is equivalent to the overloaded GetConverter method with a second parameter of false.
