Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.

Remarks

You must provide the list of types to the constructor of this abstract (MustInherit in Visual Basic) class.

For more information about type converters, see the TypeConverter base class and Implementing a Type Converter.

Note   You should never create an instance of a TypeListConverter. Instead, call the GetConverter method of TypeDescriptor. For more information, see the examples in the TypeConverter base class.

Notes to Inheritors:  When you inherit from TypeListConverter, you can override the following methods:

• To support custom type conversion, override the following methods: CanConvertFrom, CanConvertTo, ConvertFrom, and ConvertTo.
• To convert types that must re-create the object to change its value, override CreateInstance and GetCreateInstanceSupported.
• To convert types that support properties, override GetProperties and GetPropertiesSupported. If the class you are converting does not have properties, and you need to implement properties, you can use the TypeConverter.SimplePropertyDescriptor class as a base for implementing the property descriptors. When you inherit from TypeConverter.SimplePropertyDescriptor, you must override the GetValue and SetValue methods.
• To convert types that support standard values, override GetStandardValues, GetStandardValuesExclusive, GetStandardValuesSupported and IsValid.
