Remarks
This type converter is only capable of converting values, it's not usable for defining type conversions in the LLBLGen Pro designer, instead use the equivalent shipped with the designer for that.

Accepted types are: byte[]. It will use base64 encoding to convert the byte array to a string, or base64 decoding to convert a string to a byte array
