Methods

	Name	Description
	CreateCustomTypeDescriptor(ICustomTypeDescriptor, ModelElement)	Overridables for the derived class to provide an ICustomTypeDescriptor (that doesn't need to be an ElementTypeDescriptor). Base implementation simply calls CreateTypeDescriptor() to create an ElementTypeDescriptor. (Inherited from ElementTypeDescriptionProvider.)
	CreateCustomTypeDescriptor(ICustomTypeDescriptor, Type)	Overridables for the derived class to provide an ICustomTypeDescriptor (that doesn't need to be an ElementTypeDescriptor). Base implementation simply calls CreateTypeDescriptor() to create an ElementTypeDescriptor. (Inherited from ElementTypeDescriptionProvider.)
	CreateInstance	Creates an object that can substitute for another data type. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.)
	CreatePresentationElementTypeDescriptor	Create a new PresentationElementTypeDescriptor for the property grid to render the properties. Class derives from PresentationElementTypeDescriptionProvider can override this method to provide his/her own type descriptor.
	CreateTypeDescriptor(ICustomTypeDescriptor, Type)	Overridables for the derived class to provide a custom type descriptor. (Inherited from ElementTypeDescriptionProvider.)
	CreateTypeDescriptor(ICustomTypeDescriptor, ModelElement)	Provides a custom type descriptor for a PresentationElement. (Overrides ElementTypeDescriptionProvider.CreateTypeDescriptor(ICustomTypeDescriptor, ModelElement).)
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetCache	Gets a per-object cache, accessed as an IDictionary of key/value pairs. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.)
	GetExtendedTypeDescriptor	Gets an extended custom type descriptor for the given object. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.)
	GetExtenderProviders	Gets the extender providers for the specified object. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.)
	GetFullComponentName	Gets the name of the specified component, or nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if the component has no name. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetReflectionType(Type)	Performs normal reflection against a type. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.)
	GetReflectionType(Object)	Performs normal reflection against the given object. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.)
	GetReflectionType(Type, Object)	Performs normal reflection against the given object with the given type. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.)
	GetRuntimeType	Converts a reflection type into a runtime type. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetTypeDescriptor(Type)	Gets a custom type descriptor for the given type. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.)
	GetTypeDescriptor(Object)	Gets a custom type descriptor for the given object. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.)
	GetTypeDescriptor(Type, Object)	Gets a custom type descriptor for the given type and object. (Inherited from ElementTypeDescriptionProvider.)
	IsSupportedType	Gets a value that indicates whether the specified type is compatible with the type description and its chain of type description providers. (Inherited from TypeDescriptionProvider.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
