DesignerSerializationVisibility

[Rick]

I've written a number of custom controls for the compact framework.
When I use one of these controls on my forms, it generates a line
like: "this.SelectedItem = null". This causes my code to go nuts and
I'd like to suppress this code generation for the "SelectedItem"
property. I though the attribute
"System.ComponentModel.DesignerSerializationVisibility" woud take are
of it, but that's doesn't seem to be available in the compact
framework.

Please advise.

In the Compact Framework you can specify the attributes you normally apply
directly to a control on the desktop in a separate XMTA file. Select Project

Add New Item and select Design-Time Attribute File. You then create the

XML to describe the attributes to provide to each control/class, in this
file or use the tools with the Class Diagram editor which can apply the
appropriate xml for you.
