Properties

[brco900033]

I have some additional code for properties:

1] Create a description for the property

Code:

<System.ComponentModel.Description("your_description")>

You need to put this code above

Code:

Public Property YourProperty() As String

so it'll eventually look like this:

Code:

Public _YourProperty
    <System.ComponentModel.Description("your_description")>
    Public Property YourProperty() As String
        Get
            Return _YourProperty
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            _YourProperty= value
        End Set
    End Property

If you click the property you will see a description your_description.

2] Define a category where the property has to be listed
If you don't define a category Visual Studio will create a new one that is called 'Misc'.

To add your property to a category or create a new one enter this following line

Code:

<Category("Data")>

above the

Code:

Public Property YourPropery() As String

Your property will now be displayed in the category Data.
