Syntax
Remarks
This converter can only convert a DateTime object to and from a string.
The erload:System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter.ConvertFrom method uses the DateTime.Parse(string) method of the DateTime class to convert from a string.
The erload:System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter.ConvertTo method uses the current culture, if a System.Globalization.CultureInfo is not supplied. Generally, erload:System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter.ConvertTo uses the System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.ShortDatePattern property to format a date and System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.ShortDatePattern with the System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.ShortTimePattern property to format a date and time. If the System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture property is passed, erload:System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter.ConvertTo uses yyyy-mm-dd to format a date and object.ToString to format a date and time.
For more information about type converters, see the System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter base class and How to: Implement a Type Converter.
You should never create an instance of System.ComponentModel.DateTimeConverter. Instead, call the TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(object) method of the System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptor class. For more information, see the examples in the System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter base class.
