- context
- ITypeDescriptorContext
A formatter context.
- culture
- CultureInfo
The culture into which value will be converted.
- value
- Object
The object to convert.
- destinationType
- Type
The type to convert the object to.

The converted object.
Remarks
This method most commonly converts types to and from string objects.
The default implementation will make a call to ToString on the object if the object is valid and if the destination type is string. If this method cannot convert to the destination type, it will throw a NotSupportedException.
The context parameter can be used to extract additional information about the environment this converter is being invoked from. This can be null, so always check. Also, properties on the context object can return null.
