Class MustBeStringValueConverter

Ensures that no matter what is selected in (editor), the value results in a string.

Inheritance
System.Object
PropertyValueConverterBase
Namespace: Umbraco.Core.PropertyEditors.ValueConverters
Assembly: Umbraco.Core.dll
Syntax
public class MustBeStringValueConverter : PropertyValueConverterBase, IPropertyValueConverter, IDiscoverable
Remarks

For more details see issues http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-3776 (MNTP) and http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-4160 (media picker).

The cache level is set to .Content because the string is supposed to depend on the source value only, and not on any other content. It is NOT appropriate to use that converter for values whose .ToString() would depend on other content.
