How to prevent UserControl property Auto code generate

[Guest]

I'm writing my own control that derived from the UserControl.
In my control I have some public properties (with get and set) that I do not
want them to be shown on the designer properties window and I also do not
want the Windows Form Designer to generate code automatically on the user
Form for them.

To block the properties from being shown on the designer properties window I
use:
[System.ComponentModel.Browsable(false)]
public int MyProp
{
get { return m_int; }
get { m_int = value; }
}

But I could not find how to prevent the Windows Form Designer from
generating code automatically on the user Form.

Can anybody help me with that?

You could try adding a System.ComponentModel.DefaultValueAttribute - i.e.
[DefaultValue(0)]; according to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...onentmodeldefaultvalueattributeclasstopic.asp:

"A visual designer can use the default value to reset the member's value.
Code generators can use the default values also to determine whether code
should be generated for the member."

No, it's does not work, at least not for properties that are of class/struct
types.

Any idea?

What information is automatically being generated for the property you
specified?

I ask because Marc's suggestion should have worked.

Try this:

using System.ComponentModel;

[DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Hidden),
Browsable(false)]
public int MyProp
{
get { return m_int; }
get { m_int = value; }
}

Ok, I have a field:
private Point m_imgOrigin = Point.Empty

And a property for it:
[Browsable(false), DefaultValue(null)]
public Point ImageOrigin
{
get { return m_imgOrigin; }
set { m_imgOrigin = value; }
}

And the Windows Form Designer generates the following code automatically:
this.m_map.ImageOrigin = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);

But I do not want the Form designer to generate any code for it.

But Jesse suggestion is working:
[DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Hidden),
Browsable(false)]
