How can I pass a parameter to TypeConverter.convertToString, when aType is,
I.e., Color ?
If I declare
(When I.e the property that is searched is of type : color)
dim c as color
dim s as string
dim converter as typeConverter
.....

c = Red
s = converter.ConvertToString (c )
The above works !

but when I do :
dim c
c = color.red
s = converter.ConvertToString( c)
the above doesn't work !
I didn't find a way to pass the correct type to converter.ConvertString
I cannot declare a variable, which is known.
I have tried something like
c = tryCast(property.getValue(myControl, nothing), property.propertyType) '
this is not compiled !!!

Thanks :)

Also,
I see that :
c.name = "Control" (when dim c)
I cannot change the name.
Where c is Color (dim c Color), c.name = "Color".
If I could change the name (or make new object, which its name is "Color".
Color is dynamic, and only a sample.

Thanks :)

Major problem is that System.Reflection.propertyInfo.getValue(myControl,
nothing) returns the value correctly, except that the name doesn�t return
correctly for some objects
(such as Color).

Ignore.
My mistake.
Name is OK.

Now question is this :
BackColor is of type : Color.

The default of button.backColor = Control.

Control is not a Color (it is some virtual name).
How can I translate it anywhere to Color.
(The same for simmiliar properties, that act the same).

Thanks :)

Dim c as color = Color.FromName("Control")
