None of the methods in the .NET Framework for Windows Phone class library have a Converter<(Of <(TInput, TOutput>)>) delegate as a parameter. The Converter<(Of <(TInput, TOutput>)>) delegate exists primarily to support the infrastructure, but you can still use it to create custom methods that use converters.
