Allowing a new design property for control inheriting DataGrid

[Joey Lee]

Hi,

I created a custom control inheriting from DataGrid

I would like to put a custom property for design time manipulation

I added the accessor as below code but is does not appear in the property
window. However other custom control i created having this code has no
problem at all. Please help

Thanks

Joey

======================================================
[Bindable(true),
Category("CustomSettings"),
DefaultValue(""),
DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Visible)]
protected string MyNewProp
{
set
{
myNewProp= value;
}
get
{
return myNewProp;
}
}

Hi Joey,

I use VB.Net to create my controls. Here is how I add a property to a
textbox:

<PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.Attribute), Category("CSS"),
Bindable(True)> _
Public Property ActiveCSS() As String
Get
Return mstrActiveCSS
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
mstrActiveCSS = Value
End Set
End Property

The only big difference is I use Public and you use protected. Maybe
changing it to public will work for you. Just a guess though because I
don't use C#. Good luck! Ken.
