Custom Value Converter for Umbraco

A wrapper property-editor (for Umbraco) that lets you pick a custom/alternative ValueConverter for a specified data-type.

What does that mean?

Let's say that you have a property that is using a Content Picker editor, when you come to use the property on the frontend of the website, say with ModelsBuilder, the value's object-type would be an IPublishedContent. However, if you wanted to only use the raw value, e.g. a string of the Content's UDI, then your options are to either make an additional call to value.GetUdi(), or use a Custom Value Converter - to swap the default Content Picker value converter with a plain-text value converter.

In terms of ModelsBuilder, this would change the property's object-type from an IPublishedContent to a string.

This is just one example, many more advanced combinations could be achieved.
