Designtime support TypeDescriptorProvider How?

[Gerald]

Hi,

i am using a virtual property for a component, and this is implemented
by a TypeDescriptorProvider. This works with a charm on the full
framework, but i can't get it to work on compact framework.


Normally you would set an attribute, but this attribute is not
supported. Also i can't define it in de xmta because also there it is
not supported.

I have a seperate design assembly for my typeconverters and
UITypeEditors. Also my TypeDescriptorProviders are defined there.

I know you can uset TypeProvider.AddProvider to add an provider, but
can't find a good place to call it.

Any tips?

To reply to my own question.

The sollution was far more easier than originally.

Just use your own typeconverter, override getproperties and add your
virtual property there.

No Need to TypeDescriptorProviders needed.
