TypeConverter.C reateInstance-Method

Hi,

in the .NET Framework Class Library there is the following text in the
"Remarks"-section:

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

.... objects that are immutable ... - what does this mean? Can someone please
insert here an example?

thx & bye

An immutable object is an object who's internal state cannot change after it
has been created. Strings are an example of immutable objects in the .Net
Framework. You can never change the value of an existing String object,
since all its methods return a new String object, leaving the original
object intact.

Hi Oskar,

A String is immutable, a change will mean that it is written on a new place
and the old one is destroyed when the Garbadge Collecter does his work.

I hope this clears it a little bit?

I'm getting different behavior from what I would expect and was hoping someone could clue me in. At run time I need to examine a property of an object for a custom TypeConverter, then use that converter on a value. Here's the deal: object attrs=(object)PropertyInfo.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(TypeConverterAttribu te),false);

(PS: Cross post from microsoft.pulic.dotnet.framework.aspnet.webcontrols) I've been looking lately for a way to keep the Properties panel for Controls 'clean'... My goal is to keep similar public properties of a custom Control neatly tied together -- rather than all over the IDE. One such set of values that will rarely be changed, so should have little priority in the IDE Properties panel, and therefore a good candidate for

Hi, I 'm facing an interesting issue regarding a property and its TypeConverter. When i do not attach a TypeConverter to this property, all custom properties of my custom control are displayed in Test Container. Since i attached this TypeConverter to my property, ALL custom properties (properties implemented by myself) are not displayed in Test Container.

Hi there, Can anyone provide any insight on why MSFT introduced "TypeConverter.GetProperties()". There are two classes for dealing with metadata in .NET, 'Type" and "TypeDescriptor". Each has a "GetProperites()" method so why complicate the situation even more than it already is by adding a "GetProperties()" method to "TypeConverter". The class is supposed to be for converting types so "GetProperties()" seems misplaced and redundant (as...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
