C# Type Conversion

using System.ComponentModel

public string ConvertToString(Object value);

public string ConvertToString(ITypeDescriptorContext context, Object value);

public string ConvertToString(ITypeDescriptorContext context, CultureInfo culture, Object value);

Internationalization (I18n) Method Overview

Converts the given value to a string representation, using the specified context and culture information.

For more information see Microsoft's MSDN online documentation.

I18n Issues

Pass in CultureInfo to ensure that any culture-dependent conversion is done properly. If you determine that the call is i18n-safe, you can use Globalyzer's Ignore Comment functionality to ensure that it isn't picked up in a subsequent scan.
