Remarks

The Visual Studio package code looks for this attribute, rather than TypeConverterAttribute, to perform type conversion of properties on property pages.

For examples of the attribute in use, see the StructuresEnums.cs project source file.

For information about implementing type converters, see How to: Implement a Type Converter. For more general information about attributes and metadata, see Extending Metadata Using Attributes and Extending Metadata Using Attributes.
