 virtual System::Object ^ CreateInstance(System::ComponentModel::ITypeDescriptorContext ^ context, System::Collections::IDictionary ^ propertyValues);

public virtual object? CreateInstance (System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext? context, System.Collections.IDictionary propertyValues);

Public Overridable Function CreateInstance (context As ITypeDescriptorContext, propertyValues As IDictionary) As Object

Parameters

context

ITypeDescriptorContext

An ITypeDescriptorContext that provides a format context.

propertyValues

IDictionary

An IDictionary of new property values.

Returns

Object

An Object representing the given IDictionary, or null if the object cannot be created. This method always returns null.

Remarks

Use this method for objects that are immutable, but for which you want to provide changeable properties.

Notes to Inheritors

Override this method if the type you want to convert must re-create the object to change its value.

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

The dictionary provided by the propertyValues parameter has a series of name/value pairs, one for each property returned from GetProperties(Object).
