Properties for custom control using in .NET Compact framework

Question

Hi,

I could able to display my custom controls properties in the property window (using EditorBrowsable() attribute). But I have another property which has class as it's return type. So the same property appearing in the window as read only format. I need property it should take the class values at design time just like,

Font
    Name="Verdana"
    Size="12"

Answer 1

Instead of using EditorBrowsable() use:

System.ComponentModel.Browsable()
System.ComponentModel.DefaultValue()
System.ComponentModel.Category()

The DefaultValue will tell the design that the property has a default value and wont try to set it unless changed. The Category puts your property in a specific category. These two properties aren't needed but are nice to use.
