+1  Q: 

Long text in propertygrid dissappears

I'm using propertygrid, and for some reason if a property holds text longer that 3000 chars the text doesn't appear. Any advice?

+3  A: 

The PropertyGrid control is not suitable for displaying such a large amount of data. It would be better to pop up a TextBox control or similar using the UITypeEditor.

Look here for more info on how to do this.

Edit: The link provides examples on how to extend the PropertyGrid to display non-standard values.

I'm using PropertyGrid, and that's what I need. also I don't know how long the string will be, usally it should be short, but I don't want it to disappear when it's too long.

I'm not suggesting that you skip the PropertyGrid. But you may need to extend it to suit your particular needs. Check the link I posted.
