[C#] Restricting designer access

Inquisitor · 11 Mar 2006 at 19:16

As title really; I want to restrict access from the designer to one of the properties of a custom control I've created, as it's a two-dimensional array, which the designer obviously can't cope with. I'm guessing this would involve an attribute of some kind, but I'm not sure which :confused:

You should be able to do this by putting a [Browsable(False)] attribute on the property.

Thanks, works perfectly

Anyone know the difference between Browsable and DesignerSerialisationVisibility?

I haven't used DesignerSerialisationVisibility myself, but found this page which seems to explain it all quite well.
