Provides a type converter that can be used to populate a list box with available types.

Remarks
You must provide the list of types to the constructor of this abstract class.
For more information about type converters, see the TypeConverter base class and How to: Implement 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 Implementers
When you inherit from TypeListConverter, you can override the following methods.
To support custom type conversion, override the CanConvertFrom(Type), CanConvertTo(Type), ConvertFrom(Object), and ConvertTo(Object, Type) methods.
To convert types that must re-create the object to change its value, override the CreateInstance(IDictionary) and GetCreateInstanceSupported() methods.
To convert types that support properties, override the GetProperties(Object) and GetPropertiesSupported() methods. 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(Object) and SetValue(Object, Object) methods.
To convert types that support standard values, override the GetStandardValues(), GetStandardValuesExclusive(), GetStandardValuesSupported() and IsValid(Object) methods.
Constructors
| TypeListConverter(Type[]) |
Initializes a new instance of the TypeListConverter class using the type array as the available types. |
Methods
| CanConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext, Type) |
Gets a value indicating whether this converter can convert the specified Type of the source object using the given context. |
| CanConvertFrom(Type) |
Returns whether this converter can convert an object of the given type to the type of this converter. (Inherited from TypeConverter) |
| CanConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext, Type) |
Gets a value indicating whether this converter can convert an object to the given destination type using the context. |
| CanConvertTo(Type) |
Returns whether this converter can convert the object to the specified type. (Inherited from TypeConverter) |

| GetConvertToException(Object, Type) |
Returns an exception to throw when a conversion cannot be performed. (Inherited from TypeConverter) |
| GetCreateInstanceSupported() |
Returns whether changing a value on this object requires a call to the CreateInstance(IDictionary) method to create a new value. (Inherited from TypeConverter) |
| GetCreateInstanceSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext) |
Returns whether changing a value on this object requires a call to CreateInstance(IDictionary) to create a new value, using the specified context. (Inherited from TypeConverter) |
| GetHashCode() |
Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object) |
| GetProperties(ITypeDescriptorContext, Object, Attribute[]) |
