.NET Windows Forms in a Nutshell

Name

DesignOnlyAttribute

Synopsis

You can mark a property with this attribute to indicate that its value can be modified only at design time. This indicates that no code will be generated when the user changes the property in the designer.

Compare this with the ReadOnlyAttribute, which will prevent the designer from modifying the value.

public sealed class DesignOnlyAttribute : Attribute {

// Public Constructors

   public DesignOnlyAttribute(bool isDesignOnly);

// Public Static Fields

   public static readonly DesignOnlyAttribute Default;  // =System.ComponentModel.DesignOnlyAttribute

   public static readonly DesignOnlyAttribute No;  // =System.ComponentModel.DesignOnlyAttribute

   public static readonly DesignOnlyAttribute Yes;  // =System.ComponentModel.DesignOnlyAttribute

                  // Public Instance Properties

   public bool IsDesignOnly{get; }

// Public Instance Methods

   public override bool Equals(object obj);  // overrides Attribute

   public override int GetHashCode();  // overrides Attribute

   public override bool IsDefaultAttribute();  // overrides Attribute

}
