Examples

The following example uses the GetProperties method to get the property collection for the property grid.

protected override PropertyDescriptorCollection
    GetProperties(Attribute[] attributes) {

    PropertyDescriptorCollection PDC =
        base.GetProperties(attributes);
    ArrayList properties = new ArrayList();
    Type thisType = GetType();

    foreach (PropertyDescriptor pd in PDC) {

        AttributeCollection attributCol = pd.Attributes;

        // Display Name Attribute (DNA)
        MyDNAttribute dna = (MyDNAttribute)
            (attributCol[typeof(MyDNAttribute)]);

        if (dna != null) {
            DisplayNameAttribute newDNA =
                GetDisplayNameAttribute(
                dna.Description,
                String.Empty
                );

            properties.Add(
                TypeDescriptor.CreateProperty(
                thisType, pd, newDNA
                ));
        } else {
            properties.Add(pd);
        }
    }

    PDC = new PropertyDescriptorCollection((PropertyDescriptor[])
        properties.ToArray(typeof(PropertyDescriptor)));

    return PDC;
}
