Methods
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|

CreateCustomTypeDescriptor(ICustomTypeDescriptor, ModelElement) | Overridables for the derived class to provide an ICustomTypeDescriptor (that doesn't need to be an ElementTypeDescriptor). Base implementation simply calls CreateTypeDescriptor() to create an ElementTypeDescriptor. |
|
CreateCustomTypeDescriptor(ICustomTypeDescriptor, Type) | Overridables for the derived class to provide an ICustomTypeDescriptor (that doesn't need to be an ElementTypeDescriptor). Base implementation simply calls CreateTypeDescriptor() to create an ElementTypeDescriptor. |
|
CreateInstance | Creates an object that can substitute for another data type. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.) |
|
CreateTypeDescriptor(ICustomTypeDescriptor, ModelElement) | Creates a custom type descriptor. |
|
CreateTypeDescriptor(ICustomTypeDescriptor, Type) | Overridables for the derived class to provide a custom type descriptor. |
|
Equals | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
GetCache | Gets a per-object cache, accessed as an IDictionary of key/value pairs. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.) |
|
GetExtendedTypeDescriptor | Gets an extended custom type descriptor for the given object. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.) |
|
GetExtenderProviders | Gets the extender providers for the specified object. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.) |
|
GetFullComponentName | Gets the name of the specified component, or nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if the component has no name. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.) |
|
GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
GetReflectionType(Type) | Performs normal reflection against a type. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.) |
|
GetReflectionType(Object) | Performs normal reflection against the given object. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.) |
|
GetReflectionType(Type, Object) | Performs normal reflection against the given object with the given type. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.) |
|
GetRuntimeType | Converts a reflection type into a runtime type. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.) |
|
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
GetTypeDescriptor(Type) | Gets a custom type descriptor for the given type. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.) |
|
GetTypeDescriptor(Object) | Gets a custom type descriptor for the given object. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.) |
|
GetTypeDescriptor(Type, Object) | Gets a custom type descriptor for the given type and object. (Overrides TypeDescriptionProvider.GetTypeDescriptor(Type, Object).) |
|
IsSupportedType | Gets a value that indicates whether the specified type is compatible with the type description and its chain of type description providers. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.) |
|
MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
