    Type.createClass(
    	'Gemstone.Units.LengthConverter',
    	DoubleConverter);

Inheritance

## Remarks

Since Length reports a type code of Double, the converter will convert to and from double values as well as other types supported by DoubleConverter.

## Constructors

LengthConverter | Initializes a new instance of the LengthConverter class

## Methods

CanConvertFrom(Type) | Returns whether this converter can convert an object of the given type to the type of this converter. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
CanConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext, Type) | Determines if this converter can convert an object in the given source type to the native type of the converter. (Overrides BaseNumberConverterCanConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext, Type))
CanConvertTo(Type) | Returns whether this converter can convert the object to the specified type. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
CanConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext, Type) | Returns a value indicating whether this converter can convert an object to the given destination type using the context. (Overrides BaseNumberConverterCanConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext, Type))
ConvertFrom(Object) | Converts the given value to the type of this converter. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
ConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext, CultureInfo, Object) | Converts the given object to the converter's native type. (Overrides BaseNumberConverterConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext, CultureInfo, Object))
ConvertFromInvariantString(String) | Converts the given string to the type of this converter, using the invariant culture. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
ConvertFromInvariantString(ITypeDescriptorContext, String) | Converts the given string to the type of this converter, using the invariant culture and the specified context. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
ConvertFromString(String) | Converts the specified text to an object. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
ConvertFromString(ITypeDescriptorContext, String) | Converts the given text to an object, using the specified context. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
ConvertFromString(ITypeDescriptorContext, CultureInfo, String) | Converts the given text to an object, using the specified context and culture information. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
ConvertTo(Object, Type) | Converts the given value object to the specified type, using the arguments. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
ConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext, CultureInfo, Object, Type) | Converts the specified object to another type. (Overrides BaseNumberConverterConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext, CultureInfo, Object, Type))
ConvertToInvariantString(Object) | Converts the specified value to a culture-invariant string representation. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
ConvertToInvariantString(ITypeDescriptorContext, Object) | Converts the specified value to a culture-invariant string representation, using the specified context. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
ConvertToString(Object) | Converts the specified value to a string representation. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
ConvertToString(ITypeDescriptorContext, Object) | Converts the given value to a string representation, using the given context. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
ConvertToString(ITypeDescriptorContext, CultureInfo, Object) | Converts the given value to a string representation, using the specified context and culture information. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
CreateInstance(IDictionary) | Re-creates an Object given a set of property values for the object. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
CreateInstance(ITypeDescriptorContext, IDictionary) | Creates an instance of the type that this TypeConverter is associated with, using the specified context, given a set of property values for the object. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
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)
GetConvertFromException | Returns an exception to throw when a conversion cannot be performed. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
GetConvertToException | Returns an exception to throw when a conversion cannot be performed. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
GetCreateInstanceSupported | Returns whether changing a value on this object requires a call to the CreateInstance(IDictionary) method to create a new value. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
GetCreateInstanceSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext) | Returns whether changing a value on this object requires a call to CreateInstance(IDictionary) to create a new value, using the specified context. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetProperties(Object) | Returns a collection of properties for the type of array specified by the value parameter. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
GetProperties(ITypeDescriptorContext, Object) | Returns a collection of properties for the type of array specified by the value parameter, using the specified context. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
GetProperties(ITypeDescriptorContext, Object, Attribute) | Returns a collection of properties for the type of array specified by the value parameter, using the specified context and attributes. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
GetPropertiesSupported | Returns whether this object supports properties. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
GetPropertiesSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext) | Returns whether this object supports properties, using the specified context. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
GetStandardValues | Returns a collection of standard values from the default context for the data type this type converter is designed for. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
GetStandardValues(ITypeDescriptorContext) | Returns a collection of standard values for the data type this type converter is designed for when provided with a format context. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
GetStandardValuesExclusive | Returns whether the collection of standard values returned from GetStandardValues is an exclusive list. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
GetStandardValuesExclusive(ITypeDescriptorContext) | Returns whether the collection of standard values returned from GetStandardValues is an exclusive list of possible values, using the specified context. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
GetStandardValuesSupported | Returns whether this object supports a standard set of values that can be picked from a list. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
GetStandardValuesSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext) | Returns whether this object supports a standard set of values that can be picked from a list, using the specified context. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
IsValid(Object) | Returns whether the given value object is valid for this type. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
IsValid(ITypeDescriptorContext, Object) | Returns whether the given value object is valid for this type and for the specified context. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
SortProperties | Sorts a collection of properties. (Inherited from TypeConverter)
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
