Extender Provider

[Guest]

I want implement an Extender Provider in my form that stores an object,
implemented in a class, that stores n properties(string, integer...). I would
like edit every properties at design mode too, in the same way of size
property, location property etc, in order to extend my form' s controls with
custom properties my application need to work, without develop customized
controls.
I' m looking for sample code...
I found only code with Extender Provider that stores a string value...
At the moment I use Tag property to set a string and then the code reads and
splits it getting the values, but I don't like this solution.
Many thanks

You'll need to create a TypeConverter (based on ExpandableObjectConverter)
for the Class.
In your TypeConvertor Class youll need to return an InstanceDescriptor in
the ConvertTo() method.

Heres a link to response gave earlier, to a similar question in another
group:

The link should have opened up in your news reader, but here's a link to the
whole thread via google groups.

Hi Mick,

I looked to Your link and it was very helpful for me, but I have some little
problem yet...
Could I send You my project so You can give it a look ???

If you can reproduce the problem you are having in a small project, then I
would prefer you send that, but so long as your project is small then feel
free to send it as is.
Just send it via the contact on my website.
