PropertyPatternConverter uses WriteObject in its Convert method. I'm fairly certain that within WriteObject, the object to be output is tested to see if it has a layout render for it. Is this the case for all objects output? Converters like DatePatternConverter and FileLocationPatternConverter seem to output their rendered values directly to the TextWriter passed in.
A few days ago I posted code that would change the timezone of dates. I implemented that using a pattern converter. I thought that an alternative implementation would be to use a DateTime layout renderer. I thought this would ensure that all DateTimes would be in the correct timezone, not just the %date pattern. I don't think this is possible now. It appears that layout renderers are more focused on the rendering of custom objects and not basic types like DateTime and String. Is it possible to make a String layout renderer that would convert all strings to upper case? Thanks, Ron
