Property Grid

[Ananth]

I would like to know if we can enter properties (name-value pairs)
dynamically into a property grid object using C#. Also is it possible
to have the text in the property grid (within the indiidual sections)
show up in different fonts(bold, italics etc).

Is there a way by which the property grid object in .NET can be
updated dynamically by the properties (name-value pairs) that the user
specifies as part of the user interaction in a GUI. The user is free
to enter as a property name any name that he likes so I cannot create
a set of Property objects statically which could just be linked as
propertygrid.Selected object.
I would appreciate if you could provide me sample code or pointers for
the same.

Good luck. The property grid is great, but as far as I have seen, manually
adding items to it is next to impossible.

But, there is an option... CodeDom. As your users enter in name/value pairs,
dynamically build a class and rebind it to the property grid. Then, when
they are done, just CodeDom the class one final time and do what you need
to.
