Remarks

This class implements GetPropertiesSupported and GetProperties by returning the properties through the GetProperties method of TypeDescriptor.

For more information about type converters, see the TypeConverter base class and Implementing a Type Converter.

Note   You should never create an instance of ComponentConverter. Instead, call the GetConverter method of TypeDescriptor. For more information, see the examples in the TypeConverter base class.

This converter converts an object that implements IComponent and displays its properties in the Properties window.
