.NET Windows Forms in a Nutshell

Name

DefaultValueAttribute

Synopsis

This attribute decorates a property to indicate its default value. The VS.NET designer will display a property that is set to its default value using a plain style, whereas non-default values will be displayed in bold.

You should ensure that the Value of the attribute matches the initial value assigned to the property, as code generators may choose not to persist default properties.

public sealed class DefaultValueAttribute : Attribute {
