Definition

Namespace:

System.ComponentModel

Assembly:

System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter.dll

Converts the specified value to a culture-invariant string representation.

Overloads

ConvertToInvariantString(Object)	Converts the specified value to a culture-invariant string representation.
ConvertToInvariantString(ITypeDescriptorContext, Object)	Converts the specified value to a culture-invariant string representation, using the specified context.

ConvertToInvariantString(Object)

Source:

TypeConverter.cs

Converts the specified value to a culture-invariant string representation.

public:
 System::String ^ ConvertToInvariantString(System::Object ^ value);

public string? ConvertToInvariantString (object? value);

member this.ConvertToInvariantString : obj -> string

Public Function ConvertToInvariantString (value As Object) As String

Parameters

value

Object

The Object to convert.

Returns

String

A String that represents the converted value.

Exceptions

NotSupportedException

The conversion cannot be performed.

Remarks

The context parameter can be used to extract additional information about the environment from which this converter is being invoked. This can be null, so always check. Also, properties on the context object can return null.

Depending on the implementation of the value formatter, it might be possible to pass the returned string back into the value formatter to re-create an instance of the object.
