Hi, everyone,

I'm a newbie to the winform designtime area, Now I'm learning the usage of
PropertyGrid. when I added one custom type of property "Person" to the class
"Company", it didn't appear in the PropertyGrid. I had used the
ExpandableObjectConverter as the TypeConverter of the property.
(My envirement is .NET framework 1.1)

Can anyone help me? thank you very much.

Regards, Haddock

and here is the code:

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.ComponentModel;

namespace PropertyGridTest1
{
public class Test : System.Windows.Forms.Form {
public static void Main() {
Application.Run(new Test());
}

public Test() {
PropertyGrid pg = new PropertyGrid();
this.Controls.Add(pg);
pg.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
pg.SelectedObject = new Company();
}
}

public class Company
{
Person manager = new Person();

Person Manager {
get { return manager; }
set { manager = value; }
}

string name = "";

public string Name {
get { return name; }
set { name = value; }
}
}

[TypeConverter(typeof(ExpandableObjectConverter))]
public class Person
{
string firstname = "";
string lastname = "";

public string FirstName {
get { return firstname; }
set { firstname = value; }
}

public string LastName {
get { return lastname; }
set { lastname = value; }
}
}
}

Try adding the following attribute to your 'public Person Manager' property
definition.
[DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializat ionVisibility.Content)]

I have found that it's a silly mistake.
I forgot to put a 'public' before the 'Person Manager' property.

Thanks for your advice.
