Property control like in Visual Studio Designer

[Guest]

I could use a property control like the one in Visual Studio shown in
designer mode.
The grouped mode is not absolutely necessary for me - but would be nice to
have.

Anybody know one? - or maybe you can give a hint how to create one?

Thanks

This article is somewhat outdated now since it relies on
"ICustomTypeDescriptor" (which has really been superceded by
"TypeDescriptionProvider[Attribute]" in 2.0 and later). The op will have an
easier time working with "TypeConverter.GetProperties()" in any case since
it's really more mainstream for this purpose. He'll have to do a lot of
research in any case since the "PropertyGrid" is the most confounding
control in .NET IMO (very difficult to master due to its complexity and a
serious lack of adequate documentation). He might want to start his search
with "PropertyGrid" and "TypeConverter[Attribute]".
