Making property not visible in Properties at design time

dotnet windows forms designtime: Hi,
I have a control with a property that I do not wish to be visible at design
time. There is a DesignTimeVisible attribute, but that works only on
classes - can't apply it to a property, which is what I really want.

So its ok for the property to be accessed at run time - just don't want it
visible at design time.

Can this be done?

Thanks

The BrowsableAttribute is probably what you're looking for.

You need to use a designer - I use the following to hide the
BackgroundImage property at design time.

namespace JGControlLib
{
[Designer(typeof(JGMaskedTextBoxDesigner))]
public class JGMaskedTextBox :
System.Windows.Forms.UserControl
{
//.... all the class stuff
}
}

public class JGMaskedTextBoxDesigner : ControlDesigner
{
protected override void
PreFilterProperties(System.Collections.IDictionary properties)
{
properties.Remove("BackgroundImage");
}
}
