public override function GetTypeDescriptor(
    objectType : Type, 
    instance : Object
) : ICustomTypeDescriptor

Parameters

• objectType
  Type: Type

  The type of the object for which to retrieve the type descriptor.

• instance
  Type: Object

  The model element for which to retrieve the type descriptor.

Return Value

Type: ICustomTypeDescriptor
A custom type descriptor for the given type and object.

Remarks

If the TypeDescriptionProviderForwarder delegate with which this type was created returns a target model element, then this method returns a descriptor for that target element; otherwise, this method returns a descriptor for the instance element.

If instance is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), then this method gets a custom type descriptor for the objectType.
