This type is used by the .NET runtime for method argument conversion. It is responsible for such things as determining whether it is permissible to pass a short to a method that takes a long parameter. If you need to override .NET's default conversion rules, you could subclass this type (however, most programmers will never need to do this). For more details, see the .NET Framework SDK documentation on this type.
