Retrieving the original component that extends a property in a converter

dotnet windows forms designtime:

I have a component that implements IExtenderProvider and add a property, say
"ID", to some controls, say a Button. I have added a type converter to this
property and this type converter offers a drop down list of possible values,
by overriding GetStandardValuesSupported and GetStandardValues. But in order
to populate the list of values, I need to get a reference to the my
component instance that provides the extended property. I don't see how can
I retrieve this from the ITypeDescriptorContext. The context is exposing the
'Button' that has the extended property, but no the component instance that
provides this extended property.

TIA,
~ Remus

Found it. The Provider property on the ExtenderProvidedPropertyAttribute in
the Attributes collection of the context.PropertyDescriptor.
