I have a UserControl in my Asp.net project that has a public property. I do not want this property to show up in the Visual Studio Property Window when a user highlights an instance of the UserControl in the IDE. What attribute (or other method) should I use to prevent it from showing up?

class MyControl : System.Web.UI.UserControl {
  // Attribute to prevent property from showing in VS Property Window?
  public bool SampleProperty { get; set; }

  // other stuff
}

Use the following attribute ...

using System.ComponentModel;

[Browsable(false)]
public bool SampleProperty { get; set; }

In VB.net, this will be:

<System.ComponentModel.Browsable(False)>

[Browsable(false)]
public bool HiddenProperty {get;set;}
