System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptor.GetConverter() missing

[Neil]

Hi,

I'm missing the function System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptor.GetConverter()
in .net CF 2.0 SP 2 German. Neither Intellisense nor the device itself are
able to resolve this function. The API is available under .net 2.0 and
_shall_ be available under .net CF either (concerning the docs), but I can't
find it.

Any pointer welcome
Regards

Nothing here:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.componentmodel.typedescriptor_methods.aspx

indicates that it should be available on a device.

Hi Chris,

you are right, nothing _there_, but something _here_

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/de-de/library/system.componentmodel.typedescriptor(VS.80).aspx

Or am I completely wrong?

Still not listed here:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/de-de/library/system.componentmodel.typedescriptor_methods(VS.80).aspx

Ignore the "Version Information" at the bottom of specific method of
property doc pages - they are often wrong in this regard (MS has been told
and has confirmed that it's wrong, no idea when or if it will be changed).
Always look at the master list of methods/properties. if there is no device
icon, there is no device support.

Ah, thanks for the info. I always ignored the icons and used the textual
info instead. But the missing icon matches the truth...

Thanks
