Answer 1

Implement ICustomTypeDescriptor, or register a TypeDescriptionProvider and return a custom type descriptor from that, or apply TypeConverterAttribute.

In all three cases, you need to implement / override the GetProperties method to return a filtered subset of the actual properties. (In the TypeConverter approach, you must also override GetPropertiesSupported to return true.)
